My ancient 16x32 pool has a tiny skimmer (something like Hayward SP109) and I've been planning to replace it with a larger wide mouth one.
The deck is currently made of large concrete pavers and they're a total mess, large gaps, un-level etc so we're going to get a new concrete deck poured as a priority to stop water intrusion.
The liner is ok condition and is not that old (less than 10 years) so I wasn't planning on replacing it even though it's the ideal time. In fact there's just no budget for it now.
So the question is how likely is it that I could install a bigger skimmer without destroying the liner? I assume the main issue is cutting the steel wall? Any thoughts or experience?
