We had an interesting call the other day – there was a pool that had a mysterious issue: they couldn’t get any water to the pump. They tried many things like replacing the pump and running a secondary pump, but nothing was working. That’s where we came in to help solve the mystery!
We pressure tested the lines to confirm that there was no leak on the lines and after that we used our specialized camera to go into the skimmer and through the line to search for any blockages, but we still couldn’t find anything. Then we cut the pipe by the pump and ran the camera back towards the skimmer and still nothing! But we don’t give up that easily… so we then used our camera on the other line and we found it – a toy octopus!
It’s amazing that this toy was able to be sucked up through the skimmer and then through the pipes to cause this major issue. The homeowner was super happy we were able to help them with and get their pool back in operation for these hot and humid days ahead and we were so happy to be able to solve their mystery!
