Can I make this hole into a drain?

Sorry Ted, I just assumed vinyl. I bet your way would work just fine. Let us know.

No Problem... I'll post some before and after pics when I get it done in the next day or two. I'll know it'll be soon she wants to put water in it.....

Well here is the hole that was "chewed out" by a mouse or something.

and when I got home today from work I had a few "honey do's" to complete, so here it is with the "drain" installed.

Now I have to replace the inlet and outlet bulkhead fittings because the original installers gummed them all up with a ton of silicone and no gaskets.

Ted, Brilliant. You have fitted a Hayward return near the base of a soft side pool. That is a vulnerabe area for any above ground pool but if I had to guess, I think your repair will hold up just fine and be a nice addition for pool maintanance.

Thank you SIR, Just wish I knew what ate a hole through it????

Speaking of maintenance.... any idea as to what would be the best thing to clean the thing? I was thinking oxy-clean in a paste form, and giving it a try. My wife bought some stuff at the pool supply but it needed more elbow than I had to give. I'm about ready to break out the air powered buffer wheel...LOL.

Thanks,

Hi,

I saw in one of the posts that you had patched skimmer openings with success in the past. Is there a way to do this and continue to use my old vinyl liner?

Thanks

Hi Junkdj, It would probably be best to start a new thread with this question. It seems off topic here. I would be happy to answer you there. I am sorry your mail did not get through, I already had my two mail limit. That's clear now.

Will talk later, Dennis
