I appreciate all the feed back. I had clear pool besides some left over debris from previous owner, I was waiting for a leaf vacuum from amazon when my pump all of the sudden wouldn't prime. Background, the main drain hasn't really been able to prime the pump on its own. I have it narrowed down to the skimmer line being clogged but I am unsure of what to do to unclog it.

This is what I have tried so far:

Water bladder...doesn't work well with the immediate 90^ elbows at pump and skimmer. Made a 2' threaded pvc fitting for bladder still nothing but broken bladder.

1/4" snake 25' long from both ends, thought I got some stuff but nothing in the basket. Pipe is ~60 feet so I wasn't getting all of it.

From the 2' pvc fitting I made a attachment for a garden hose, I was trying to prime the pump with volume but garden hose couldn't even come close after 10 seconds. But I did find some weird looking rocks in the basket, then picked one up and it crumbled. Smelled really clean, so I am thinking Borax or stabilizer. I used both the previous days before the pump stopped priming. I spread the Borax out from the box, 6lbs over 2 hours. Stabilizer I put in some pantyhose in front of a jet. I think it may have clumped up and got vacuumed up.

Any ideas how to get this stuff dissolved or moving?
