Hi mom replacing the skimmer in my inground vinyl pool. I’m using the Admiral s15 skimmer. I have some rust on the wall which I’ve cut out and will rivet a patch panel on to attach the new skimmer. My questions are 1. how many gaskets should I use and what is the placement? A-1 between skimmer...

thanks for all the input. Here are a couple of pictures of the skimmer and the issue I'm trying to resolve with the deck shifting. There is a good sized void between the deck and the stone that you can see. Would the fact that there is stone/gravel there and the void maybe indicate that its not...

here is an angled view of the fixture in the inlet hole

my pool is a vinyl in ground pool. Does that make a difference?

Is there a way to identify from the pool deck (without cutting, digging) if my skimmer would be encased in concrete? I think I have a Pentair Admiral skimmer (formerly American Products). The pool was built in the 70s. The reason I ask is that the slab of concrete that houses the skimmer lid has...

ill get a angle pic tomorrow. after pulling th liner there was a mound of sand on the bottom of the pool bellow the inlet hole. below is a picture of what was threaded onto the pipe in the hole. Now there is evidence of a prior "repair" as there is a square on the concrete deck above the...

Hi guys, I have started changing the liner in my in-ground pool and during my research it looks like the inlet plumbing is all messed up. Am i right, shouldn't there be an inlet fitting in there to seal it up? The end of this fitting is threaded. how do I remedy this? the panel was rusty so i...

After rotating the pump and the filter this is my new dry setup. I didn’t cut or resize any of the pieces so it’s not straight in places but this gives you an idea I tried looking at putting the 3-way valve on the bulk head but my inlet is the bottom one and there isn’t enough room to get to...

thinking about your suggestion about putting the 3 wy valve at the bulkhead of the filter... is your inlet at the top of your filter? or are you going through your filter then to waste?

it is DE filter. never thought about turning the pump. I'll give that a play with tomorrow. thank you

here is my dry fit... its not pretty but i'm not sure there is a better way to do it base on where the pipe in the ground are located.

Thanks, Jim. I actually have them. I think i must have ordered them after getting the white ones shown and forgot.... I just dug around the pipes coming from the pool so I can start the process of changing them. The three pipe going to the pool are black. The are connected to the current pvc...

What about adding a chlorine feeder?

Thank you. I'll check that before installing.

ok I guess that will make winterising easier too. Thanks.

I recently bought a new pump (Pentair Tristar VS) and a new DE filter (Pentair FNS Plus) to replace the old equipment when we bought the house. The current plumbing the is above the ground is basically flew pipes. I have the skimmer line and the main drain line coming out of the ground as PVD...

Hi Im sure this is asked a lot and Ive tried doing some research. Every time I have used this forum it has been of great help... The situation - I got an extremely good deal on a Pentair 180009 FNS Plus DE filter that I couldn't pass up. It 60 Sq ft and 120 GPM which to my understanding is...

Hi Guys, Im recently moved into a house with an unground pool. I would like to open the pool in the next couple of weeks. I have never opened a pool before and I need some help understand what pump/filter I have and how I operate it. The pump/filter is a Slash Pak D.E. Filter system made by...
