Skimmer clogged

[CarlD]

Is it the skimmer basket or the skimmer pipes that are silted up?

It's the pipes, there are 2 pipes below each basket, i can make 1 of the 2 pipes work by turning the "Skim" lever off and the "Vac" lever on but if I have the Vac on the Main Drain doesn't work....

I had a clog in my skimmer yesterday that I was able to free with a 25' snake that you would use to unclog any plumbing line inside your house.

Where could I get one of those?

The snake thing

Home Depot. Standard Plumber's snake. I have one for many years now, long before I had a pool (I'm a tool junkie).
