Hopefully Scubabob or another pro can help me solve this cheaply.
I have an in-ground oval 20 yr old pool. It has a sand Triton filter system with 1 skimmer & 1 drain at the 10ft deep end . approx. 30 ft from it to the pump or more (straight vs pipe twists and turns.) The pump is above the pool level by a ft only. It has a hayward Viper cleaner & pump for it too.
I've been nursing this system along for years. Presently I have no flow of water and 0 pressure. I know the suction has been having issues the last 5 yrs getting worse & worse & I've been replacing parts little by little over the years. Last time it did this I put a hose into the sucking end of the pump where the filter and metal top are - when it filled, I'd quick put the metal cap on & it would work. I've tried putting hose water in the skimmer, sand filter, pump filter, etc - no go. air or debris? (new hose vac. to main skimmer clogged main line5x this weekend but cleaned pump filter) Best solution? Drain King
