- Dry-fit plumbing before cementing to ensure the best alignment for either the 2" socket or 2-1/2" spigot connection.
- Use proper PVC primer/cement and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system.
- If adding optional float/bypass components, verify your plumbing layout supports equalizer/bypass function.

Maintenance Tips
- Empty and rinse the skimmer basket regularly to maintain strong suction and protect the pump.
- Keep the weir door swinging freely; replace it if warped, cracked, or sticking.
- Maintain the pool water level near the middle of the skimmer opening for best surface skimming performance.
- Inspect the lid and collar area for cracks or UV damage and replace worn parts to prevent debris intrusion and fit issues.
- If flow drops, check for a clogged basket, blocked suction line, or air leaks at the pump lid/valves before assuming skimmer issues.
