    Default Re: Flow / Turnover Problem

    [ Note to posters: this is a public pool. Very different rules apply! PoolDoc. ]

    We had an initial inspection and will get a brief inspection once during the summer. Code enforcement is fair, not brutal.
    http://health.state.ga.us/pdfs/envir.../poolrules.pdf Section 290-5-57-.07 describes turn over requirements.

    I'm sending pictures to you today. I didn't want to post a reply until I did some more home work -- I don't want to waste your time.

    I do have air in at least one pump. I couldn't see it coming out of the returns until I jumped in the pool and held my hand to them. Tiny, tiny bubbles.
    I did find some trash in the 2 HP impeller. I get about 90 GPM now with both pumps on. Made sure both drain plugs were tight.

    I put a 25 foot snake in the skimmers, nothing. Put it in the skimmer return via the pump, no issues that I could find.

    The farthest skimmer still barely has any suction and the basket just floats.....
