Just Opened Up - Clogged Pipe??

[wetshoes1]

HI.

This is the first time i'm opening up myself. I have an IG vinyl pool.

I removed cover & all plugs, put baskets in the skimmers, plugs in the pump, & threw in my Polaris vacuum. I then primed up the pump & had everything running smoothly, so I added Bleach.

After an hour, I stopped the pump in order to clean out the baskets, as they were full of dirt.

When I turned the pump back on, it didn't prime. After trying several times, all I was able to get was a trickle to go through the system.

Here is a link to a picture of my system: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=2028

I have a 3 port valve, with the left port coming from the main drain, right port from both skimmers, & the 3rd port to the pump.

I can't prime it any way, skimmers only, main drain only or both. So I took a shop vac (6 gal) and stuck it into one skimmer hole while I plugged the second skimmer to see if any air would come through to the pump. IT DIDN'T.

So i'm assuming the pipes are clogged, althogh it would seem that everything is clogged, both from the skimmers & main drain. Is it possible?

Also, now when I fill the pump basket with water to prime it, the water doesn't go down the pipes toward the pool as usual.

How can I unclog it? I could use some solid advice!
