Skimmer replacement "circular weir" questions.

[Socal_biker]

With the test fitting going as planned. I didn't have to make any adjustments.

I put a couple beads of silicon around where the skimmer box mated with the pool wall.


I primed and applied glue the drain PVC pipe. Tapped the skimmer down with a wooden block, to make sure I went down to the proper slip fit. Finish plumbing the skimmer portion to the skimmer intake pipe going to the pool pump. Used wooden blocks to hold the skimmer level & plumb.

Skimmer ran great, no leaks with just the silicon and wooden blocks holding it in place. Kept it this way for a couple of days to make sure there were no leaks. It's only wet in the pictures from me rinsing the area clean.



Another good thing I found out. I found out why I was having so much trouble priming the skimmer line. When I was cutting off the old skimmer, I found my floating pool thermometer inside it. lol



I'm currently filling/topping off the pool, so I can test it and check for leaks.

Tomorrow,

• I will backfill the hole and make a form around the skimmer. Add some rebar and tie it to the pool. Then encase the skimmer in cement.
• Then pour the concrete deck to finish it off.
