Reach over the top rail of the pool and carefully press the faceplate and and liner against the gasket and skimmer cutout in the wall" Then it it says screw it together then...

    Hayward wide mouth skimmer double gasket question.

    It's butterfly but I went ahead and installed it per instructions. Meaning before I cut the liner. It does seem wrong because water can possibly get behind the liner now. I didn't fill the water. It's still a few inches below the skimmer so I can change it. :brickwall:

    Hayward wide mouth skimmer double gasket question.

    Never mind I must be over tired. It says to install the gasket from outside of the pool so it can go half inside and half outside but then the gasket will be under the liner. Is this the correct way? Sorry. I had a long day yesterday and don't want any more problems. Sorry...

    Hayward wide mouth skimmer double gasket question.

    The last time I installed a Hayward wife mouth I opened the double gasket and fitted it around the cut out so part was inside the pool and part was outside the pool.

    Another foam cove moved thread

    I dropped the liner about 1/4 of the way around at a time and gorilla taped the cove to the wall. Its filling back up but I had to leave it unattended and now I have some minor wrinkles in the bottom but I'll have to live with it because I'm not draining it again lol.

    I drained down to just a few inches. I can reach the piece but now I see the ones next to this piece are loose. I have a feeling I'm going to have to drop the liner all the way around and tape it all in place. Thoughts please. Its raining now so I'm not even sure when I will have time to work...

My pool was flawless all summer, but since this algae issue I just ordered and received the Taylor K-2006 so I can see whats going on with my shock levels of chlorine. My free chlorine was right about where I figured it was based...
