Help with Skimmer leak.

[matcin2531]

Get the right size screw driver and stand in the pool and tighten all the screws one at a time and a little at a time. take one hand and press in from the outside. Go once around and see if it stops and if not do it again. Be patient and do it by hand and do not use a torque drill. Hope this helps as I had to do this after I installed my 27' pool and installed the skimmer from the outside. After it filled it was leaking and tightened up from the inside and it worked.

matcin2531,

Thanks for the input.

I'll give it a go and see what happens. I'll try to enlist some help to push from the outside while I tighten while standing inside the pool.

Anothe rtip I was given was to do the bottom screws first as this will draw the gasket properly into place.

AND.... the butterfly gasket goes directly on the metal part of the pool walls and NOT overlapping the liner on the inside.

Thanks again.
