ok brief history. I got this pool (used) brought to me by my boys. set it up, filled it, swam in it, now kinda like it. BUT, my skimmer has been leaking just about anywhere a skimmer can leak since we set it up. I replaced he skimmer today once I finally found out what I have. its a light house brand only wide mouth skimmer. . when I removed the skimmer I found the liner around the hole is in bad shape. tried to just install and hope for the best but now it leakes more than ever down the outside wall. What I think I need to do is to get a large heavy patch and put it across the whole skimmer hole , then install the front of the skimmer and cut out the skimmer like when you replace the liner. has anyone heard of this. I am open to a better idea. thought about adding a bigger rubber gasket. etc. any and all help would be great. leak is killing my water bill
