Thank you for the video of one of the major parts of installing an above ground pool that all the other worthless install videos just don't even bother talking about.

This was so helpful. Thank you. By far the best step by step video for an above ground pool so far!

Cool skimmer , very nice video thanks

Thanks, I'm glad I watched this

Good video thanks for the help

The liner is supposed to get tucked inside the butterfly gasket.

You should also mention that there should be at least some water in the pool before doing this, preferably half way or so. otherwise if u do this before adding any water the opening will stretch when water is pumped into the pool. liked and subbed regardless!!

I thought the with this style and the butterfly gasket was supposed to go over the liner and pool wall. So the liner would have to be cut first.

cut the liner first then install the gasket or water will leak behind the liner.

So no gasket between the inside skimmer plate and liner?

Doesn't the water level have to be lowered for the skimmer to work from the nominal water level?

I need help with return jet??? Any videos

Would you install a larger skimmer or add a skimmer?

pozdravljam vas puno i imam dilemu,moj bazen koji se trenutno pravi je 4,80x7,50 metara.interesuje me koji skimer da stavim od koliko protoka vode dali ce mi jedan biti dovoljan?unapred vam hvala na odgovoru

I have to replace my skimmer, question on beside the gasket. Should I use RTV or silicone. Thanks.

Do you have a link for purchase of that exact skimmer?

I'm laughing because I know they were screwing off behind the camera making him laugh. 😂😂

What vacuum hooks up to that?

Will this work with a non steel wall pool ?

@Royal Swimming Pools - Please redo this video showing the proper installation of the skimmer. Butterfly gasket covers BOTH the liner and pool wall. Leaking will occur if installed as shown in this video.

My instructions show that the inside of the butterfly gasket should contain both the wall and liner, rather than have the gasket over the liner. But I'm nervous to cut the liner first.

Kristen I agree

I am a 44 year old woman on disability and I just put a skimmer , an upgraded jet , and a new pump on my pool by myself . And I siliconed around the new additions. If I can do it anyone can

missing the scariest part, cutting the pool

We have the EXACT skimmer model he shows installation for and we just looked at the manual. It CLEARLY states that the rubber gasket goes over the steel wall but OVER the liner. 1. CUT LINER FIRST. 2. THEN, INSTALL GASKET OVER BOTH. Don't make our mistake-water leaked out from the inside DOWN past the liner and onto the inside of the pool wall. NOT GOOD and the very reason you're supposed to do the above. Not sure where this guy gets his training but it is OPPOSITE the actual manual for this exact skimmer. Please learn from our nightmare.
