[tomas21]

Looking for input on which skimmer to go with on new build .... what is the difference between the Pentair Admiral vs. Bermuda Skimmer

What type of pool are you building?

Bermuda skimmer is for gunite pools.

Admiral skimmer has screws and gaskets on the face for liner pools.

Then Bermuda is the right skimmer. Follow the installation instructions...

NOTICE: Skimmer MUST be surrounded by at least 4” of structural concrete in a monolithic pour, using a cold joint as shown in installation drawings (Figure 1).
