Installation Notes
Install the skimmer body in the pool wall at the correct waterline height using the included adjustable collar. Ensure a proper seal to the pool wall material. Connect plumbing to the 1½″ FIP port. Add the cover/collar assembly and adjust vertical height to align with deck or coping. Install the skimmer basket and weir flap. Start circulation and check for proper surface skimming and no water bypass around the lip.
Maintenance Tip
During seasonal service inspect the skimmer opening and basket. Ensure the weir moves freely and the collar remains tight and properly aligned. Replace the skimmer if the throat or body shows cracking, or if the seal to the wall is compromised.
