    I have a similiar problem. My skimmer does not have a weir. I have cleaned the skimmer area where i really expected to find two holes to mount the weir. There is nothing there. I believe I have a swimquip wc27-92. I have not had much luck finding info on this model. The swimquip site I found looked more like a service site than a product site. there is a stopper plate on the top off the skimmer oroface(?) where the weir is stopped.
    any sugestions? I read a post about a pressure mounted weir, but i could not find any info on manufacturers or where to get one.
    the young lady at leslies really gave it her best shot, but she insisted I must have holes or i would have to screw a weir in(didn"t like the sound of that.)
    Sorry if I am wordy, just trying to give all available info.
    Thanks everyone!

    I can't help you find a weir, but just wanted to say that it is OK if you don't have a weir. I don't. Mine broke several years ago and I just don't worry about it. The only thing is that when the pump shuts off and the suction is gone, any debris in the skimmer will float back out into the pool. My solution for that is to just dump the skimmer basket before shutting off the pump. Maybe somebody can suggest someplace to buy a replacement, but if you can't find one, don't sweat it.

    Hope you enjoy being a part of our forum!

    EDIT: By the way, it is usually best to start your own thread instead of tacking onto the end of somebody else's thread, especially if it is a really old one like this one is. Just an FYI.
