Hello,
Well, I got brave and finally installed the wide mouth skimmer yesterday. It came with a diagram, but no real instructions as far as I'm concerned, so I did the best I could. I am including pictures to help you visualize what I am talking about. Well, I've never attached pics before, so I am going to try. First of all, I had an over the wall skimmer before which I just hung over the pool to show you. I don't know the actual names of things, but the part that stuck out of the pool wall before where I could open or close the water flow I just jerry-rigged attached it to the bottom with an attachment that I had sitting in a box since there were no instructions on how to attach it to my pump. The other pictures are just to show you what I have. Now, the problem...it is leaking even though the screws are very tight, and yes I did include the white gasket part between, and the biggest problem is my pump does not work when I turn it on. It just comes on, but now water is flowing through and back into the pool. I knew I wasn't an expert at this, but I figured I'd better try since I'm the only one to do it. Please give me some suggestions. Thank you.
