My pool drain is 9 feet underwater - and - I think it's clogged because thepump runs dry every time I switch from both the spa & pool or just the spa,to the pool only.The drain cover has screws on top - but - it's 9 feet under (due to thenature of the self-cleaning pool).I long lost (20 years ago) my PADI scuba diving certification card (Iwonder if we can get a new one sent?) and I don't have tanks (although Icould buy them on Craigslist) and a regulator ... So, I wonder, sans scuba equipment, how do you guy normally service yourdeep drains to see what's clogging them up?
