Hello
Pool owner going on 2 years now and haven't had much luck with hiring pool service, so I'm taking over! I sure have a lot to learn, starting with understanding my setup. Thanks to this forum, I discovered that I should have a Wier door on my skimmers. I’m also trying to figure out how the skimmers are plumbed. I'm attaching a few pics and would like help please! My skimmers (2 of them) have a single hole in the bottom and 2 other holes on the side. The higher hole on the side is threaded. I know the bottom center hole goes to my pump, but don't know about the others. The skimmer nearest to the pool equipment has both side holes plugged as far as I can tell. The skimmer on the other side has the top side hole (threaded hole) not plugged and the other lower side hole plugged. This is an inground pool built in the late 90s. There are 2 suction lines that go into the pump and they are labeled spa and pool, so I’m guessing the main drain and skimmers are tied together. Maybe if I can narrow down the skimmer model number I can make sure I have it all set up correctly. Thanks in advance!
