I am new to this site and am looking forward to seeing responses to solve my issue. I feel like I cut out my skimmer opening too soon, prior to installing skimmer inner face plate. Once installed, and butterfly gasket on the pool wall with liner also in between the gasket and inner wall. filled to skimmer and external leak appeared. Lowered water level and removed and replaced skimmer, re-installed and filled water. Resulted in a larger leak. Can installing a section of vinyl over the pool liner opening for the skimmer, installing inner liner face plate to skimmer opening then mounting the skimmer prior to cutting the liner patch resolve the leak without buying another liner? Pool liner is new, @3 days old. Thanks in advance for your responses.
