I love the DIY leaf blocker! Unfortunately I have to leave in the morning and have no time to build one. I guess I will take the slam advice and hope for the best. Thank you everyone for your help. I love this forum!

The vacuum works through the skimmer so it can’t get full of floating surface dirt and I don’t have many leaves falling into the pool right now. I guess it is a bit of a risk not knowing if things will fall in and sink but I know for certain there will be surface tree fly-a-ways. I am getting...

Need some help. I just opened my pool a week ago. I have just slammed it and I am letting filter run 24/7 until it is clear. I do not have a bottom drain and just one skimmer. I now have to go out of town for 3 days (unexpectedly) and don’t have anyone to empty skimmer basket or back wash...

Hello everyone. Just thought I would provide and update. I have replaced the skimmer. It was a bigger job than I thought but the skimmer is working. The tricky part was removing the old skimmer. I had to cut holes in the skimmer to unscrew the skimmer from the logs that are the sides of the...

That is what I thought as well until I tried to remove the skimmer. On page 5 you will see the diagram near the top of the page points to the mounting flange for wood pools. Because of this I am pretty certain I will have to cut the liner. The mounting flange is trapped between the logs and...

Thanks for the input. I appreciate the confidence! The part should arrive in a day or two. From all I have researched my biggest fear is the liner stretching out of place. Is there any advice for holding it in place? Any known device?

Thank you so much for your reply. I just now purchased the skimmer and rush ordered it. I will send pictures in the morning as I would love to get all input I can get. I am a total novice when it comes to pools. (I will get the bleach in it first thing as well!)

Hello Everyone, I am sure hoping someone can help me. I just bought a new house and it has a pool. It is a pool made of logs. It is built just like how Lincoln Logs work. It is mostly underground but does not have a main drain and the skimmer mounts to the outside of the pool just like an...
