    Default Jandy valve problems

    my Jandy valve is only working in one position. It controls how much water comes from the pool drain or the pool skimmer into the filter/pump but now only works in the drain position. When turned to skimmer position it won't suck water/prime when turning pump from off to on but if I set it to Drain, it will prime itself. If I then quickly turn to Skimmer it then sucks water but also a lot of air. The pressure is about 14 lbs from Drain but 2-3 from skimmer when doing this. Is this a Jandy valve problem, or something else?

    I don't know but hopefully someone will! Once your registration is complete and your thread is moved out into the equipment section of the forum, it will get some views by someone who might know about these Jandy valves.

    Is the water at least 1/2 way up the skimmer mouth?

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
