Hello
I recently had my pool resurfaced, and the issue happened right after that; I don't think the resurface is he culprit, but I mention it in case it has a bearing in the issue.
I have 3 valves (the big blue ones) that control my suction: main drain, skimmer, and dedicated pool cleaner used for the Hayward navigator. Since the resurface job, the pool cleaner line barely sucks any water; using the clear plastic measurer, it barely dips and doesn't even reach the top MIN line, and the pump's basket barely fills up. Even using 1 hose segment the suction is minimal and the pump's basket barely fills. The other 2 suction options (main drain and skimmer) suck fine with full power. If I attach the hose to the skimmer's hole, it suctions fine; I removed the hose segments 1 by 1 to see if one of them is broken, but I never lost suction. Therefore, the hose segments are fine.
Common sense says that perhaps my blue valve is letting air in perhaps?? I poured water with soap on it to see if i saw bubbles, but I didn't see any. What else can I try?
Thank you
