Installation & Compatibility Notes
During installation, ensure the pool shell has been formed to accept the skimmer body flush with the finished surface. Connect the 2″ slip inlet (or 1½″ using the included reducer), secure the body in place, finish the deck and finalize plumbing connections. Once installed and before commissioning, confirm the float/check valve activates properly and verify there are no leaks around the lid or body. After fill-up, monitor skimmer performance to ensure proper flow and basket retention.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the lid and frame annually for damage or loss of water-tight fit—replace if cracked or warped.
- Empty the skimmer basket regularly and check the float/check valve functionality; service or replace if sticking or failing to open/close.
- Keep the skimmer clear of debris and ensure the deck surface remains flush so leaf accumulation does not hamper skimmer flow.
