Plugged up pipes - how to clear?
Hello all, I'm having trouble with my pump/pipes. Yesterday when I went to turn on my pump it wouldn't catch prime. Everything sounded normal, no racket on anything. I took the strainer lid off and tried filling with more water and it actually overflowed so I figured something was plugged up somewhere. I checked the pump impeller and it was able to turn freely so I figured it had to be the lines going to the pump. I tried flushing with water from my hose and even tried exploring with a pipe snake. Never could get the snake to go very far though because of the 90 deg. bend in the pipe. The plug is probably a frog or turtle (been fishing out lots of those lately) that somehow got past the skimmer basket. Any ideas on getting this cleared up? Thanks everyone!
