- Air bubbles entering the pump system
- Gasket compression or flattening after years of use
Installation Tips
For best results when installing your new gasket:
- Turn off pool pump and relieve pressure from the system
- Remove the old gasket completely and clean all surfaces thoroughly
- Ensure the new gasket is properly seated in the groove before tightening faceplate screws
- Tighten screws in a cross pattern to ensure even pressure distribution
- Check for leaks after restarting the system
Professional Installation Recommended: While this is a straightforward replacement, if you're unsure about any part of the process, consult a pool professional to ensure proper installation and avoid damage to your skimmer assembly.
Note: This gasket is designed for skimmer faceplate sealing only. Be sure to verify your skimmer model number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
