With a smile and a little optimism, I decided to tackle this skimmer issue with a replacement. I’ve prepped for weeks and jumped in today. Couple of observations… 8” terra-cotta tile. Seems like an odd size. At least when I search ’pool tile’ 6” seems to be the new norm. I’m sure anything...

Excellent! Thank you!

You are correct! No doors on either skimmer.

Hey Gang- Hope everyone is doing well…. Question of if this pool is just old or the wrong plumbing choice for a concrete inground pool. I’m noticing the skimmer throat is 100% plastic vs most/all pools I see have an opening vs this notch/box look… Adding to the return fittings that match...

Thanks!!! It pushes water out to the pool. I do need to measure it, but hoping for an inside wall fitting - I doubt I can match up these.

Here is the set up... I did remove a trim ring that was held on by 4 screws. There wasn’t a gasket or eyeball. There are no visible threads and what is pictured is embedded the trim ring is off. Without threads/being slip fit are like some liner style fittings - maybe they are... I...

Perfect! Many thanks - I appreciate the feedback!!!!

Wow.... this was a bit of a chore?!! I was able to removed the old fitting, clean up the stub and sleeve on the inside and outside with a coupling. It’s done. I reworked the pipe layout 3 times. 3 trips for more fittings...!!!! I just could not settle with tension on the pipe. I...

Hello.... it’s just the cheap eBay HD w/LED $15 / 10ft USB scope. I was very impressed for the dollar factor.

Taking a closer look at this light... I had a history of turning off by itself and finally stopped. I picked up a new transformer- 300watt. The bulb is also 300watt.... As you can see it’s an old school Pentair set up. I did locate the ground wire within the cord, but seems like I’ve seen...

Ha...LOL!!! Thanks for the relief!!! I have at least two vertical cracks. Both are 30”+and go up through the tile. Funny thing is they haven’t bothered me for 2yrs - pool has never went below skimmer..... So.... some good-ish DIY stuff.... Went after a new Polaris; borescooe, and other...

I’m on board with you Jimmy!! I appreciate the feedback!!! I agree with the skimmer washout and everything you’ve said. The plumbing too...!!! Im not prepared to make the cosmetic decisions on the new deck, tile, and total redo as that ties into other projects on the property. Right now...

Yep, I was optimistic, but reality wins again!!! I cleaned and prepped for tomorrow... I’m glad it was a quick let down... on the upside found an amazing product at the big box store that removes tar / asphalt from just about anything!! Oddly called Tar Remover!!! Down side located two...
