I mixed up the CYA in a bucket of warm water as instructed. I was pouring it into the skimmer. There are two pipes under the skimmer basket. One is pulling water in the other does not appear to be doing anything. The other skimmer is the same way. A good bit of that CYA settled down in the pipe with no suction. Is this anything to be concerned about. What's the purpose of the other pipe. I have a navigator cleaner if that makes any difference.
The other pipe fitting at the bottom of the skimmer is to allow you to hook up another skimmer or main drain in "series"........it's plugged with an insert and not used in your system.
Put your hand in the skimmmer and swirl the water over the dormant hole or put a stick in there and stir the CYA out allowing it to go into the active suction line and into your filter.
You might also try sticking the end of a garden hose into the dormant port to flush out the CYA
Thanks Catnip I feel better knowing that no irreversible damage has been done
