Moved from here... Through Wall Skimmer on Rectangular Intex Ultra Frame UPDATE
Since 2014 is the last time someone has updated this thread, this may be a long shot but, can anyone help me with the install of a hayward through wall skimmer for above ground pools? I bought this model Pool Skimmer SP1091WM, however i was wondering since this gasket is kind of butterflied already if there was a need to butterfly the gasket so that it was on both sides of the pool. Also, since i opted for the wide mouth version, but didn't know if it would work with my 12x24 setup I bought the extra part to keep it as the regular non wide mouthed version. I have searched youtube only to find snippets of people installing, where to install, how to do it, yet I am still reluctant to pierce my pool side wall in order to have the skimmer. Last summer I lost a lot of water installing a wider inlet from intex. It was one I had laying around, so nothing out of pocket for me to do an upgrade. I also have to mention that I have the two inlet style and the intex skimmer never really kept the pool clear. It would always clog up and we wouldn't have any flow to the outlet only to find out that the design of the inlet hoses itself was the culprit. They had this waffle pattern that would slow down the flow. Any help is greatly appreciated as my pool isn't up yet. In Minnesota its a sunny 61 today and cloudy, with rain in the near future forecast.
Thanx
