Just bought a new house with a pool. First of many questions I'm sure as I'm terrified I'm screwing something up royally. I have a test kit on order and hope it's here soon. I made the mistake of going to Leslie's and they got me all set up (~$350) before coming here. Will start changing my ways! Anyway...
In the skimmer, I noticed there are two holes below the basket. I did a search of the forum and found that the second hole probably is nothing or for construction purposes. That makes sense. I saw that some people use rocks to weigh the skimmer down. That also makes sense. My situation had me finding a rock, about half of a regular brick in a triangular design, sitting UNDERNEATH the basket, covering one of the holes. It wasn't a watertight fit, so I don't think it was there to prevent any water entry, but I have no idea why it was there. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for the first of many helpful answers.
