Glad that it got the desired effect. Gotta have a sense of humor...

Just as an FYI - I just backwashed my filter and left the pump off, but w/ the multi-port set to "filter". My backwash hose fills up to the return pipe level. I never did get around to blowing into it, but now I think I don't have to. Seems like a bad multi-port to me. Guess I'll be replacing that sometime.... Right now it's not causing me enough grief to spend the time & effort.

I finally got around to blowing into the waste line. I think I moved water, although if it was from the skimmer or return I'm not sure. I might mess with it over the weekend, but I'm inclined to think that I'll really work on it when I close the pool in the fall. Taking the multi-port off the filter is not easy, do to the way I've replaced some PVC, so I'd just as soon do that over correctly at the same time. Once i've got it open I'll probably change the sand & check the laterals too. Thanks all for your help. I love the fact that I'm not scared of my pool stuff any more and really understand how it works.
