Thank you all for your help! I will look at it closer tomorrow but I do have a DE filter and a separation tank would make a lot of sense since when I directly backwash I have noticed some dirt buildup on the alley behind my house where the water drains. I suppose I should have been using it all along. Oops :/
I'm still a little bugged about the skimmer/drain selector issue. Through my other readings it really seems like there should be two plainly visible pipes coming up out of the ground going into the pump. I do have a polaris pump- maybe it's somehow hooked up through that? I will have to investigate more later. Anyway, thanks again!
