Hi all,

New to pool ownership.

Filled pool to well beyond half way of 9 foot side and see today its about where it was yesterday.

Not the first time, but I had a leak from multiport valve and its been 100 degrees here In OK so previously wrote it off.

On the 3 foot side, which was much higher yesterday, the skimmer basket is quite cracked (see attached).

Ive done some research and seen some recommendations but none of the skimmer basket's injuries look quite as severe.

Im afraid I dont have the proper terminology for what it is Im really looking at.

Does anyone have recommendations? any advice would be welcome.
saw someone mention A+B epoxy putty. this seems more like it might need to be filled first though?

You can fill the area with newspaper, a pool noodle, basically anything that will keep the repair from falling in while setting, as a backing and then fill with hydraulic cement about 1/2" thick.
