Blocked swimming pool suction pipe located and repaired in Haigslea

27 Feb Blocked swimming pool suction pipe located and repaired in Haigslea

This morning we returned to a reported blocked suction swimming pool line in Haigslea. We attended earlier in the month and was unable to clear the blockage , as a cost effective strategy we referred our client to a local plumber with a jetter in a further attempt to clear the blockage, again without success.

We inserted our CCTV camera from both ends and located a flexible rubber pool hose connected wedged in the 50mm – 90 degree bend under the skimmer box.
Using a quick cut concrete saw we removed a section of the concrete path, excavated down to locate the suction pipe. Having located the position out licensed plumber cut a section of pipe away and removed the blockage.
He reconfigured the suction pipe , before testing the repair then the whole line to find it secure. We backfilled with sand before reinstating the concrete and cleaning the site.
