I was unsure if this was the appropriate forum to post this... Please let me know if this should be in another forum...
We're having our 1970's 9 foot deep pool replastered very soon. Both bids we received suggested we add an additional skimmer in which case they'll need to "trench, core drill behind our pool and install a new dedicated suction line with 3 way Jandy valve". Our pools only skimmer is at the far deep end and they say adding this additional skimmer towards the middle of the length of the pool will both allow us to keep the cleaner attached while still skimming the top water on the second skimmer and most importantly will aid in better cleaning of the shallow end of the pool as the cleaner will have less hose and be closer to the shallow end. Were concerned about the additional cost of $650 added to the bill but most importantly that it could open us up to other problems occurring like leaks, cracks etc.
Any input and/or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
