    Default Questions on installing skimmer

    My pool is about 3" from the skimmer hole now, but the liner is not flat against the wall by the holes. Should i install the skimmer over the liner then cut the whole out.

    The pool is heating up nice. The only time you need silicone is if you mess up and don't want to fix it right.
