Since installing the Hayward skimmer a few years back (and so happy we did - cleaner pool!), we just left the hoses and plunger valve attached with the valve closed. But just yesterday, one of the hoses sprung a small leak. Want to do something more permanent but simple.

Hi there Mrs LBH! Welcome to Trouble Free Pools

.

You can use PVC to replace all that soft flexible tubing. It comes in variable sizes.

You should have gotten some hat-looking caps to seal off those inlets. They look like this

Put them tightly into the inlet holes, remove the hoses, and you're done!

Thanks...I do have them. Please clarify, in the schematic below it appears you just take off the strainer cover and insert the plug...correct? Will this hold with a lot of people in the pool?

Yes. You just take the fitting out of the hole, then push the plug into the hole from the inside. Water pressure helps keep it in place.
