I set up my new pool (Intex 26x52 with Doheny 24”, 1.5 hp sand filter) up a couple of weeks ago and I’m wanting to install my Hayward skimmer on it. My skimmer was used on the pool and I bought it used with skimmer already attached. Do I need to wait a certain amount of time for liner to “stretch” before installing skimmer? I am over all these plastic hoses and my old equipment not fitting. I want to hard plumb my pool but not until I install the skimmer.
 
Hey there DC, welcome. Here is a *great* guide on how to put those skimmers in to Intex pools. One of our wonderful Guides put this together as he did his.

I know how to install the skimmer. I just don’t know if I need to let my pool stay up for a couple of months before I install or if I am able to install it right away on a new pool.
