    Can I raise pool cover enough that water could run directly off it

    Why not cut a hole in the center of the cover, use a suction port through the cover and run a hose out the side of the pool at the lowest port, if you follow me. I know I have seen a pic on here but can't find it right now.

    Through the wall skimmer on an Intex

    While on the subject of through wall skimmer, has anybody run two pumps off one skimmer. I have an intex 2650 salt system and I also have a separate pump I was thinking of using for a sprinkler.

    Through the wall skimmer on an Intex

    I bought a Haywood skimmer for my Intex last year but never got around to installing it. Do I need to drop the water level in my pool before cutting for the skimmer, and if so, how low should I be?
