You can do it! I didnt want to do it at first, seen as the pool is only a year old, but decided to go for it and it has been a great addition. Would install it on the next pool without any doubts. We always take the pool down at the end of summer, so I will have to take the skimmer of for storing the liner in the garage. I don’t expect any issues however 🙂👍🏻

​@@DIYcircleDid you notice an improvement in the circulation of the pool? Some people have noticed much improved circulation after installing skimmers like these on their pools.

@@Superman-xr1oh Circulation in the pool I would have to answer with no, that is all down to the inlet that returns water from the filterpump to the pool. If that is powerful enough and you have an inlet that is adjustable to change the direction of the water, that will increase the circulation of the water in the pool itself. Circulation through the pump is not improved by adding a skimmer, it only takes the water from a different spot in the pool. So more from the surface area rather than 1/2 to 3/4 from the bottom where the normal outlets are located. For best performance, the original outlets need to be blocked/disconnected, so the water only is pulled in through the skimmer. Your pump will still perform as well as before and will only perform better if it was previously not able to take as much water in through smaller hoses or fittings via the original outlets.
