Hi 

Skimmer blocked ? What do you mean ? Do you think the key could be blocked in off position ?

I don't understand. To block a skimmer it needs to insert material inside the skimmer, but there is a net which forbid anything big to go to the pipe.

The key could be old, and then it remains in a position, on or off. So try this tip : close the bottom key and the hoover key, open only the skimmer key and see what happens. If needed, I could let my whatsapp and with a video, we could find where is the problem.

You could try jetting back from the pump with a hose pipe
