But i spent so much time trying to get it to work. My pool is BLACK w some NASTY floating stuff! I let it go midsummer last year, just didnt have the time, then it sat all winter, I would trust swamp water w gaters before getting in that thing! I got it all drained except the bottom 3 inches... (a lot of water!) 25×52... I still wont get in that 3 inches. Cant see through it AT ALL 😳😳🫣

@PaleFace1974 Ай бұрын
Your 1 1/2 inch adapters didn’t make a difference because you still have a 1 1/4 inch restriction at your inlets. How you created more suction was by adding the on/off valves which let you stop suction at one inlet and divert all the suction to the inlet with the skimmer. I have a similar setup. Next year I’ll be cutting out the 1 1/4 inch inlets and installing proper 1 1/2 inch fittings to create much more suction at the skimmer.

It has to be a true siphon. Meaning NO/ZERO air in the hose. The end IN the pool has to be a higher elevation than the other end (so gravity can take place).

You don't HAVE to. I chose to because I had a dedicated storage space for it. That said, I always didn't rust how well they'd last in the Texas summer (here). The more it's up and out in the off-season, the more chances it has to get hit by something (kids, trees, etc) and rip or get punctured. I've seen 50/50 people keep it up and winterized vs. store it.

Siphoning is dependent on 3 things: 1. The hose stays full of water (no air...at all) 2. The hose is submerged in water where the water goes in (in your pool). No air. 3. The other end of the hose is not elevated higher than where the water goes in (gravity helps propel the water) Can you confirm that's the case?
