I cannot find a 1.5 inch fitting for the inlet. Does it matter if I use the return in the inlet hole. I had to saw off the little gray PIECEthat was sticking out to GET THE SKIMMER TO SCREW ON. But my ques is does it matter? Will the pump still drw like it should? I have a 12 X 30 bestway. i converted to 1.5 inch hoses to addapt to my 2500 intex pump.

Great video, but I have some questions. I am assuming you can't use this with a cover on the pool. I keep mine covered most of the time because we have a lot of trees. also, mine tends to lean a little to one side and I have tried to adjust it to stay level but nothing seems to work. Not sure how to use this skimmer when the solar cover is on. Unless I disconnect the skimmer and only use it when I want to use the pool. seems like a pain in the butt.

the pool levelness will make a difference with this. I do not use it when my solar cover is on,, the cover seems to prevent it working for me.

Can I ask a question about the surface skimmer. Do you dismantle it when covering the pool and go back to using the pool outlet pipe to filter. Can you have the surface skimmer and outlet going at the same time if you have more than one outlet.

You will probably get a hundred different answers, but here is what i do: I have two inlets, so I leave the skimmer on one during the swimming season. The skimmer pulls from the top of the water and the other inlet pulls from the middle of the water.
