I wish your videos were around when I bought my pool, my install guys didn’t explain any of this to me . Now I know and I finally don’t have to get drenched to clean the second basket and loose a bunch of water from the pool.

Hi Josh! I'm a new pool owner here and have this same system installed a couple of weeks ago. I hope you can help me with an issue we have. I can't seem to move the handle in any direction! I don't want to force it and break it. I also noticed that the valve was installed different from this video, in which the Closed option is located in the bottom and the Open options to the left and right. The PVC were installed exactly like on this video. Everything is the same, except for the valve. I was trying to vacuum and wanted to clean the skimmer and when I tried to close the main drain is when I noticed the handle was hard to turn, even after I unscrew the plastic screw... Can you please help?
