After reading around here I have realized that my pool's skimmers don't have flaps. Is that ok?
I'll post pictures tonight.

Our skimmer weir was non-functional because it lost the foam piece that allows it to float at the surface of the water. Without this, the flow into the skimmer was very weak and often the leaves would just sink to the bottom of the pool. I replaced that foam, and now the skimmer is working great. The weir serves to increase the speed of surface water, and this is important for skimmer function.
