    Add A Vacuum Port To Intex Pool?

    Vacuum doesnt seem to help??

    Hello everyone. I have a 16X48 Intex pool with a intex sand filter and pump assemble.

    Through the wall skimmer on an Intex

    I have not received my skimmer yet, but I do not understand why the gasket has to be cut in half? Shouldn't it seal from the inside without having to be cut in half? Just trying to get all of the fact's before I install mine.

    I run it about 6 hours a day, Do you think I should consider running it more often?

    Through the wall skimmer on an Intex

    Looks great! I just ordered a skimmer this morning to do my Intex pool also. I am sick of always having to skim the surface. Do the skimmer's cut that down a lot?
