Skimmer Faceplate Install

[Yeeper]

Pool we inherited with the house is pretty old. Lots of minor upgrades needed.

Is it possible to replace the skimmer face plates on our vinyl pool as is (with water in)? Or will this cause issues with the liner and leaking?

Thanks in advance!

I would pull the water down to just below the skimmer face before trying to replace them. You do not want water to get behind the liner as will happen if you try to replace it with the water all the way up. Make sure to get new gaskets as well. Swimming Pool Supplies - Pool Parts - INYOPools.com is a great place to look for what you need.
