Hello all,
Had two quick questions I wanted to try and gain some insight and thoughts on. I have an Intex Ultraframe XTR 12x24 pool with a sand filter and saltwater chlorinator (all packaged together.)
I would like to upgrade from the over the wall skimmer to an inwall skimmer. Does the pool need to be drained to install these and is this ok to do? I would imagine the water needs to be lowered below the skimmer at the very least but wasn't sure if the pool needs to be fully drained. If so, I will wait until next summer.
Second question is skimmer socks. Does anyone use them? Aside from the skimmer in the pool, can one be used in the skimmer basket attached to the pump, or is there risk of damaging the pump if used at this location?
Thanks in advance and again for any insight you can provide!
