i have forgotten (once) to turn off my tap when topping up the pool and went over the skimmer, over the coping and 2 things happened.

a) the chlorine did a # on my grass

b) the skimmer doesn't develop that whirlpool swirly effect (matter of fact, even if not overfilled persay but higher than a certain level, you lose that effect and skimmer basket can bob around in the hole.


oh yeah..c) i suffered extreme embarrassment
