    Thanks for the response. I have brought the pool up to shock levels so we should be OK I will run it for at least 24 hours straight or until it clears up.

    How does the method of sucking out the lines work? Do I have to use my shop vac on reverse? Is there another method?

    Not sucking out the lines but blowing them out with water.

    The easiest thing is to use a garden hose forcing water through the pump inlet back out the skimmers. Seal around the hose with a wet rag so it can build some pressure.
