Pool issues 20120403: : Skimmer not working Part 1

[@brianonthego]

Glad you fixed it. Pools are such a money sucker.

It means nothing when your Diverter Float Valve (Flying Saucer) inner disc is free and moves all around inside there when it's taken out of the water, as you demonstrated. It still could be bad. The inner disc can have water in it which does not allow it to float. If it can't float it will seal off the skimmer and only take in water from the pool drain.

Was your water level to low? The water was being sucked from the bottom of the pool drain and not from the skimmer intake. This happens when the water level is to low. Same thing will also happen if big leaves clog the skimmer basket, this will stop the skimmer from working and the pump will then drawn the water from the bottom of the pool drain. If there was something wrong with the basket that would impede the water flow, that will do it too.

Your diverter is only half open to the skimmer

[@williambiker9307]

its because of your flying sorcery valve was shut!! it means your skimer has been starving for air

I discovered that the dealer actually modified the skimmer basket taking out the nubs and it wasn't working properly. As soon as I put a new basket in place, everything worked well.
