I have a Kreepy that has worked fine but yesterday noticed it was not
moving. The hose had worked its way loose from the skimmer and was
detached. I reattached it but found that the pressure on the filter
gauge was quite high and the Kreepy still didn't move. I detached the
skimmer hose and found that there was little to no suction at the
skimmer. Did the skimmer swallow something that is clogging the line?
Or is there something else I just don't know? I backflushed the filter
for a few seconds but the result was the same.

Thank you.

A few seconds? Backwash the filter properly, then come back and tell us
the results. We'll go from there. Tom

Also, chek the trap at the end other end of your skimmer hose and see if
there isn't a lot crud in there. Leaves will eventually block this.
