Installation Tips & Tricks:

• Wall Integration: Mount the skimmer flush against the vinyl liner wall panel. Ensure proper alignment with the waterline.

• Faceplate & Gasket: Always use a compatible vinyl liner faceplate and dual gasket system to ensure a secure, watertight seal.

• Plumbing: Use pool-grade PVC cement to weld 2" PVC pipe into the socket and spigot connections. Support with pipe brackets if needed.

• Backfill: Stabilize the skimmer body before backfilling to prevent flex or shifting after the pool fill.

• Weir Check: Make sure the weir moves freely to prevent debris from floating back into the pool after pump shutoff.
