Hi guys I just needed some clarification. We closed our pool and put the spa ice away on our heat pump (recommended by the pool store, we dont have shop vac) Instruction was pour spa ice away (antifreeze) on the inlet until I see the liquid comes out on the outlet then put tje expandable...

@Mdragger88 thank you for this! Definitely confident to open next year! As for closing it I need to read it over and over to make sure I will not make any booboo on it ☺️

@poolmagazine thank you! it put my mind at ease. wouldnt worry about it anymore, coz even when we were swimming i kept staring at it thinking water was going in between. Maybe will fix it when the season end☺️

@VinnyinNJ Thank You ☺️

Thank you for replying to me. Is something that is pool specific silicone i need to use or for plastic that the skimmer is made of? I know some silicone that can be used to windows or bathrooms.

Took a picture of the outside side of the skimmer. I think the rubber i see is the gasket? Please correct me if im wrong ☺️

Thank You! Always answering my questions. I would need to find the aquarium seal or the transparent ones just need to look for something that is good for skimmer material and the vinyl just in case i go over it )not planning though ☺️) but for the meantime do you think water goes in between...

Hey thanks, if i needed to seal it im thinking of gorilla marine type tape, im just not sure its compatible with vinyl or maybe get the aquarium sealant at amazon. I will be brave 😂 and try to open it next spring but i will spend a lot of time here at troublefreepool for guidance ☺️

Yes im frustrated 😂 i feel i should worry but then again not. Its mostly when we are swimming and the water is splashing on the crack. This spring they changed it and it cost me $100. (Thought it was free because pool store closed it and water got in the skimmer as the valve was not closed)...

Hey guys, my skimmer was replaced when the pool store opened it this spring (only 2nd season, im learning so i can do it myself next year but im not sure im confident to do it) a month after i noticed there is a crack, im thinking they overtightened the screw. Spoke to them and since its been...

It started when we move to the country side last year and in a house. (used to live in a big city and in a condo). Been telling my husband for 12 years that i dream of having our own pool (everytime we go on vacation pool is a must in our accomodation) and when 2-3 years before moving we talked...

Thank you! I will try to do the skimmer myself. Ive been reading here and watching youtube videos 😁

Thank you!!! ☺️

Thank you guys so much! Im more confident now to leave it like this. I told the pool company that i will leave like that and they were adamant but I stood my ground thanks to all of you. He told me only gentle movements on the pool, nothing rough at all or even playing as there is weakness now...

Do you have an idea what caused it? ☺️

Hi Casey, thank you! I really appreciate it. I decided just to replace skimmer and open it myself (as you suggested) and follow what you will tell me guys. Told the pool company i will just let it be as i cannot afford it and im not prepared to any big costs for the pool. I was not expecting it...

Thanks Casey! I really appreciate! I took a picture of where the pipes go, So I know how to do it the only thing im scared to do is the skimmer replacement. Im like in between because you guys assured me its fine but pool company keeps saying its not and that it high risk for collapse. I...

Pool company said its frost heaving that created it. And even a small bend the pool is no longer safe to use and wall needs to be replaced also the liner since we cannot use it again. After a lot of you guys assured me its okay I told the pool company, im scheduling the opening of our pool. Its...

Thank You! Its the bend/buckle (sorry its my first pool not very familiar with a lot of things ☺️) at the bottom of the wall, i found it on 4 places but the most obvious one is the one where the skimmer is. Is this still safe to use? Im trying to come up with a decision if i should open it this...

Thank You! The pool Company keep saying i need to change wall and liner because of these buckles and since it is due to nature, cost will be out of my pocket. Said it is not stable anymore and not good to use. So im asking if other’s are using their agp even if its buckled. And so far a lot of...

Hi guys, i posted my question a while back about my above ground pool 21” that buckled on the wall where the skimmer is. I was worried about safety of using it as pool company is saying i need to change the wall and liner (cannot be used again when we drain the pool) on top of the water...
