how to adjust pool skimmer suction
Hi Haven, I was hoping you could help me with something new today. I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the pool skimmer suction. Any ideas?
Absolutely, I'd be happy to help. Adjusting the skimmer suction usually involves working with the pool's pump system. The first step is to locate the pool pump and filter system. Do you know where that is?
Yes, I found the pool's pump system. What's next?
Great, now look for a valve typically found near the pump system. It should be labeled to direct the flow of water to different parts of your pool, such as the main drain, skimmers, and sometimes individual jets. Can you see it?
Yes, I see a valve with those labels. How do I adjust it to control the skimmer suction?
Good find! Now, to adjust the suction, you need to turn that valve. Inch it towards the direction labeled 'skimmers'. This will increase the suction power to your skimmers and decrease it to other parts of your pool. Just remember, adjustments should be made gradually, and it may take a bit of trial and error to find the right balance.'
