Wrong skimmer, does it matter?

[Robertmsiegel]

Plans and specs call for two Hayward SP1072 skimmers with overflow but framing crew installed CMP 25140-010-02N skimmers. Both appear to be similar in size and have 75GPM flow rates.

Thoughts?

Not a problem

Just make sure the make an overflow if these skimmers do not have one. It can be as easy as drilling a hole at the very top and putting a pipe that goes to day light some where in the yard.

@YippeeSkippy Is there a difference between the two, I can’t seem to figure it out

@kimkats yeah, that’s my only thought, but can’t seem to figure out the difference in the two. Should I jump into the pool and inspect to see if there’s a knockout?
