Looks like your pool has some “creative” previous homeowner repairs. The pipe could be an attempt to bypass a leaking skimmer, or an odd way of running the pool equipment when the water level is low, perhaps because theres a pool leak. That may be why they painted over the damaged plaster rather than repairing it correctly.Hi, I'm a new to the site and new in ground pool owner. I have PVC plumbing coming out of the skimmer box down into the pool that returns water to the pump.
My other skimmer box has two holes both are plugged off.
I'd like to use the skimmers. Anyone I have an idea why this would be done?
