3/4 open for skimmer, 1/2 or 1/4 open for floor. If your pool has a deep end and the deep looks murky while the shallow layer looks clear, do a few cannonballs off the springboard, else open the floor drain to full for a little while.

Pool not running for 2 years inground do you drain or is that bad?

Vacuum the pool. If you have to drain it, only drain it half way. Floating pools are a disaster.


Is it wrong to drain your plaster pool when the temperature is above 100?

Why would you drain your pool just becasue the water is hot? Never drain your inground pool unless you have first cut holes in the bottom of the pool to keep it from floating. If the water table in your area is high enough, your inground pool could "float" out of the ground, effectively ruining your pool.


I have two side skimmers and a bottom drain i can't seem to get the correct suction to use on my vacuum hose?

lift out the skimmer basket there should be a floating diverter with a flap that closes off suction. some skimmer baskets are rotated to do the same thing. insert your hose into the other skimmer. turn off suction to the main drain if you need more suction.


What valves do you leave open when cleaning pool?

You should have two valves: one for the skimmers and another for the bottom drain. Close the valve to the bottom drain. One of your skimmers should have a rotating disc which will cover the intake at the bottom of the skimmer intake hole. Rotate the disc. In this manner all the suction from the pool pump will be at the one remaining skimmer. Attach your cleaning hose to this remaining skimmer while vacuuming the pool.

Check the date & time settings on your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Complete battery drain resets the time to 1970! But putting in the correct time should make the app work again.

How do you run the pool filter through the main drain?

You run the pool filter through the main drain by moving your valve next to your pool pump to main drain only. This is usually a Jandy Value or the like. Usually there are three positions on this value. One for both main drain and skimmers. One for skimmers only and one for main drain only. As a precautionary warning. Only adjust this value with the Pump OFF. Doing it while the pump is running may cause significant damage to the value. No one needs additional pool repairs if it can be avoided. Hope this helps. : ) The above answer is only good if there is a dedicated main drain line to the pump. Most pools in California have the main drain line connected to the front port of the skimmer and use a diverter valve in the bottom to regulate the ratio of bottom or skimmer suction. Jandy and Ortega valves are both designed to be adjusted with the pump running with no fear of damage. Multiport valves should only be adjusted with the pump off.
