Need widemouth replacement skimmer for older AG pool

[JennyK]

Hello my skimmer (pre 2003) on my above ground pool had a freezing issue over the winter & the bottom dropped out. It was a wide-mouth, but all the replacements I've seen might fit the hole, but none of the screw configurations match at all. No part number is visible, but it may be an old Hercules or Hayward skimmer.

Can I use a newer one & drill new holes, or is there a place to buy old obsolete skimmers?

You can use any wide mouth skimmer that will match the opening -- provided you can seal things up.

If you want to find an exact replacement, photos and dimensions would be necessary. Send photos to poolforum@gmail.com, or use Photobucket, Picasa, Flickr, etc.

Welcome!
