SKIMMER ASSEMBLY
1. Align the skimmer opening with the opening in the housing.
Use the hardware provided with the skimmer to attach the
skimmer to the housing. Make sure to use the skimmer face-
plate when attaching the skimmer.
2. Attach the skimmer body to the skimmer housing. Align the 2
smaller tabs to the underside of the holes in the top of the hous-
ing. The long face of the small tab should be aligned with the
circular opening in the housing. Use the provided machine
screw to attach the small tab to the housing.
3. Once the skimmer is attached to the housing through the open-
ing, use the provided drill bit to drill a hole into the skimmer
through the hole in the small tab. Thread in a short machine
screw into each hole, securing the skimmer to the small tabs.
4. Place the larger tab’s smaller face onto the underside of the out-
side of the housing so that the pre-drilled holes are aligned. Use
the provided sheet metal screws to attach the larger tabs to the
housing.
5. Once the skimmer assembly is complete, place it inside the pool
in the same corner as the lower thru-wall fitting. (front right)
6. Use the provided drill bit and self-tapping screws to attach the
skimmer assembly to the top tube of the pool. Position the holes
in the larger tab with the center of the tube. Drill through the
liner and tube with the drill bit. and then secure the assembly to
the top tubes with the four self tapping screws.
CONNECTING SKIMMER /
SUCTION WALL FITTING
(Refer to Diagram #3: Skimmer / Suction Thru-Wall Diagram)
• Push fitting (#4) through the wall of the pool from the inside.
MAKE SURE TO USE A GASKET (#5) on both sides of the
wall of the pool. Place the cork ring next to the gasket outside
the pool and secure the wall-fitting nut (#7) to (#4) now sticking
through the pool wall. Tighten with a large pair of channel locks.
Make sure the nut is very snug but do not over-tighten, as this
may crack the fitting.
• Thread the union and insert adaptor (#1) into the bottom of the
skimmer. NOTE: No glue or tape is necessary to complete this
step.
• Inside the pool, thread the insert elbow (#3) into the thru-wall (#4).
• Wrap a small amount of Teflon tape around the end of the adaptor .
• Press the flexible hose (#2) onto each of these fittings. Use the
provided plastic hose clamps to attach.
• Outside the pool, thread in the male portion of the street ell (#8)
into the tailpiece of the thru-wall fitting (#4).
• When the water quality system equipment needs maintenance,
the insert elbow fitting (#3) should be removed and the provid-
ed plug should be threaded into the thru-wall fitting (#4) to pre-
vent the pool from draining.

the pool and secure the wall-fitting nut (#10) to (#8) now stick-
ing through the pool wall. Tighten with a large pair of channel
locks. Make sure the nut is very snug but do not over-tighten, as
