Thanks for the comment. I think this will help. I located the valves that you've mentioned and tried to see directions online (but only found schematics - not directions on how to adjust anything).

I have 2 inputs (the skimmer and the grate). I don' t have a spa.

Do I need to have the pump off to adjust the flow? Besides having someone sit there with their hands in the skimmer intake, is there a way to know that the suction has changed?

Finally, is there a way to know that any adjustments I have made are not negatively impacting my pump? I cannot afford to replace a pump now - especially if it comes at the cost of my own negligence!


Thanks for all of the pool support!
