Attempted to drain my in-ground Pool using the Pool pump and existing skimmers tied to main Pool Drain. No luck.

    I just completed this job thanks to your video. Thanks you. Also thank Honda for making a spoiler part where the fasteners break before the spoiler breaks. Also.... in my case the plastic gromit with a wiper fluid hose connector in it, it broke. I went to the Honda dealer and showed them the part and they got it for me for $28. All went great. Thanks again.

I and I said : give me the parts name and number, I’m pretty sure they are available at a reasonable price online . Sure enough, got a package of 15 clips for $12 at Amazon, I know they are not the original parts but they do the job. I followed your instructions and done . I did it myself, no husband involved 😂.

    If you would've took the water hose and slowly add water to your skimmer while pumping out your pool, that works just fine. It'll eliminate any and all air getting to the pump.

  • @seephor
    @seephor Рік тому

    Float values are never going to create a air tight seal AFTER the pump as shut off. The way they're supposed to work is once the pump is circulating, if the pool water is low, there's a chance the skimmer will become starved of water, in this instance, the valve will do it's job because the pump is already primed and the suction force will pull that float valve down hard and ever if there are minor air leaks, the prime will not be lost. Once the pump loses prime, you can't expect the float valve to form a perfect seal. One method is to insert a hose directly into the suction port in the skimmer and drop it to the bottom of the pool. Another method is to create a short hose that directly connect the drain suction port to the pump port inside the skimmer but even then, you may need to attempt prime for a while because there's a good chance the hoses will leak at the fittings. A utility pump should be the last restort because you'll be looking at 3 days of pool draining whereas the pump can do it in probably 3 to 4 hours or less.

    Thank you for the enlightenment! I'm currently working on a pool with these Pantair skimmers.This pool is obviously missing these float valves but it is a rather unique setup if you think about it. I was wondering how the main drains functioned and didnt realize there were parts missing. As for yor problems of inadequate drain and air leakage, I believe the problem you are experiencing is a cracked return line. I know one if my lines is cracked (as was rhe skimmee) and as a result, my pump keeps drawing air the the ceacked return line. Use a endiscope or pool stethoscope to check your lines. I bet money theres a crack fouling up the process.

  • @gramps5157
    @gramps5157 Рік тому

    I had the exact same problem today. In the beginning I was drawing water from the main drain but then the float valve would float up and then sink back down. As the pool got more empty ( after draining about 2 feet of water out) I was having a real hard time drawing water from the main drain. I have a submercible water pump but it pumps so slow, that's why I was hoping to use the pool pump to drain the pool down for winterization. I can't any video that explains why we are having this problem of draining the pool from the main drain!
