I opened my pool early this year. Water was great, clear and blue within 20 hours. I notice some leaking around my pool pump's skimmer basket (see images for my configuration, and 2nd image for the bolt on the backside, bottom-center where the leak is ).
Question is, how hard is it to replace the pool pump skimmer contraption alone and run the plumbing?? And, can I buy it alone - the pump/motor itself is less than 1 year old and doesn't need replacing. Yet, I only see sales for the whole "kitten kaboodle" (motor, basket, and skimmer together).
(See images for 1. my setup, and 2. where the leak is in bottom-center bolt of skimmer)
