    I stuck my shop vac into the skimmer to blow it out to the filter. I had a DE clog in there because of adding too much without making the "DE slurry". If you have a clog in the line between the skimmer and the pump, maybe a shop vac will help you too.

    Also - I figured this out b/c I turned off the skimmer input line and only used the bottom drain line. Guess what - it didn't have the flow issue. So, it was something in between the skimmer and pump. I was just glad it was a clog and not a water leak!

    Well, I'm going out of town on business for a few days. This post will probably get lost, but I will re-erect as soon as I get home and am able to try the shop vac and some muratic acid. Thanks again
