    Um, could the main drain have been impeded and now is cleared up? That would definitely cause the suction pressure at the skimmer to drop. Not being able to pull the basket out from the suction seems pretty extreme to me.

    Or is there a valve that shut the main drain when the skimmer suction was so high?
