Questions on installing skimmer

[jimmyzshack]

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.

Almost there

Just make two starter hole at the top. Install the skimmer and then cut the opening.

What temp is the water?

i'm using well water and last night the water was 74. I'll check it again at lunch today.

one more question didn't i read that you don't recomend using any type of silicon when installing the skimmer and return? thanks again hrsdennis for your help.

Just shut off the water and checked temp it is 78. I plan on putting the skimmer and pump in after work today.

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.
