Re: skimmer basket
I have not seen an over the wall skimmer in over ten years. I did not know they still made them. There is one positive aspect to them. You can have more water in the pool than with a thru the wall.
As for the prime, try this. Before you turn the pump on loosen the lid to the hair and lint pot. It should fill with water, then turn the pump on. It should start right up.
I am surprised by the advice the pool store gave you but changing to a thru the wall is really not that hard.
