My above ground pool came with Widemouth Skimmer &return inlet ( NA324 ). I would like to know if there are skimmers I can get that would have overflow and water level build in ? or maybe just overflow if that is asking for too much
My installation is next week so I still have time to order new one.
 
Wait until it's installed and see where the water level rides. Then drill a hole as far as possible above normal but below the point where water might get behind the liner. Then you use a through-hull or bulkhead fitting and attach some cheap hose to it and trail it off where you want the overflow to go. If you can;t find something at a local hardware store, a marine supply or an RV supply will have something.

This one could even be hardplumbed and it's certainly cheap enough Everbilt 1 in./1.5 in. PVC Drain Pan Fitting-15005 - The Home Depot

I want to make a complete overflow plumbing so it takes overflow water away from my garden because I afraid salt water might do some damage. Do they even make skimmers like that ? ( I'm asking because I'm not to handy when it comes to mods )

I found something like this http://www.poolproducts.com/p/water-leveling-widemouth-above-ground-skimmer#pdp-tab1 but this is auto level ( is this any good ? )

Looks like that one does both. A garden hose fits on the white fitting and a drain hose slips on the black. So it will add water when needed and drain water when it gets too full.
