Pool pump pressure too strong
When cleaning my pool I'm noticing that the cleaner attachment is getting stuck to the bottom of the pool. I have a 3-way valve that I adjust when I clean. This started happening a vew months ago and I just dealt with it, pushing like crazy basically. Is there a way to decrease the suction pressure when cleaning? I can't really explain my pool pump system but it is very typcial for the area I live in. In ground, 10k gallons. South Florida. I think it is a Hayword.

Yes. I adjust the valve and put it on "main" which I believe shuts off the suction to the main. I'm vacuuming out of the skimmer and the pressure is pretty strong. I have tried simply not changing the valve and the pressure is a bit light. It's doable but not that great. The strange thing is that the first few years I was vacuuming, the pressure seemed just right.
