    Question about cover and skimmer.

    It's going to rain tomorrow. This cover being larger will settle on top of the water line pretty quick with rain. That's my concern about using a larger cover. I will be scraping snow out all winter like this, but I don't know if there's a better option.

    Question about cover and skimmer.

    When using a cover with the cable and crank, should the cable go in between the rail and skimmer, or against the top of the skimmer body? I took pics of both ways. - - - Updated - - - Follow up question. I bought a cover a size up this year since the correct size sucked last year. Is it ok to...

    Need advice on leaky fitting please.

    This should be an easy one. I just want to see what you guys would recommend on this. Have a Hayward sand filter/pump for a small "drinkin' pool" (don't judge me!):pth:. The fitting for the hose from the filter to the pump was coated in silicone last year by the installer after it leaked past...

    Icicle from my jet?

    Sorry, been away. Got home late. Water is somehow making it past the eyeball cover though. Some ice built up in the nozzle for the hose. No pic for now. Also, we now have water dripping from the side of the skimmer gasket? Not a lot, but some. Any idea what is causing that? Is the pool...
