Have spent hours with Gemini trying to open up my pool, usually pay someone but last year they did a bad job so doing it myself.

I've gotten them to work if only a skimmer and main drain valves are open. If I open the other one but by bit, it gets to a point where the pump takes in air and then there's no suction from the skimmer. Same thing happens if I switch which skimmer is open. What can I try? I ordered some lubricant for the O ring in the pump lid so will try that once it gets here, but I'm not sure if that will fix it.
