Ok, first off, let me say your emailing to an idiot. I do believe I have solved my problem. Thinking over and over in my head, I believe that I vacuumed some of the pool without the skimmer basket. Yeah, I know... idiot. I am kicking myself as I type. I've had the pool 6 years and that was the 2nd time I have ever had to vacuum it. The reason this year was the cover tore open taking it off. It wasn't too bad on top, but there was stuff that I did vacuum and I'm sure that's the problem. I just can't believe I did it. Anyway.....
I did try and snake it today but I have cranked and cranked at one place about 23 feet from the pump. I am sure that's where the clog is located. I tried one of those Drain Wizards in the skimmer and was snaking from the other end... hoping it would break through. No such luck. So, that's where I stand. I will try and snake some more. My wife is out of town and it's hard to work on with two little boys running around. We'll see... but at least I think I know that it's clogged.....
Still can't believe I did that. I will have to post in the "bonehead" section of the forum once I get it solved.
