2. ASSEMBLY
Assembly Instructions for the Skimmer for Above Ground Pools
Note:
For assembly you will need a Phillips screwdriver and a sharp-bladed knife.
Note:
we would recommend that you apply a bead of silicon sealant to the gasket
seal and skimmer box during installation.
Note:
Please note that all Aqua-World Pools have pre-formed cut-outs for
the skimmer.
a. Before installing the liner in the pool, punch holes in the wall for screws and for
the skimmer holes and return fitting. Smooth and grind the edges of the holes
to remove any sharp edges. Install the gaskets supplied with the pool onto the
skimmer hole.
b. Take one hose coupler and screw it into the skimmer housing. Use Teflon® tape
for sealing (do not use adhesives or sealing putties).
c. Before commencing the actual installation, the skimmer housing should be
already partially screwed to the pool wall. Place one gasket and the skimmer
housing to the holes marked out from the external side of the pool. Secure the
position by using a couple of shorter screws in central holes along the sides of
the skimmer. Before doing so, check the flap valve is correctly installed in the
entry front plate of the skimmer housing. The flap valve must move freely.
d. Now install the pool liner and fill the pool with water so that the water level
reaches to 5 cm below the lowest connection hole of the skimmer (i.e. 5 cm
below the return fitting hole).
e. Using a sharp nail, punch the holes for the skimmer housing connection in the
liner from the external side of the pool. Fix the other gasket from the internal
side of the pool and attach the front plate. Insert the remaining 10 longer
screws into the holes in the front plate and tighten them gradually using the
Phillips screwdriver.
f. Using the sharp knife, cut the liner out from the front plate.
g. Now install the return fitting.
h. The ADAPTER and TOP plate is used when you wish to have a suction inlet for
pool cleaning and is only inserted in the skimmer (plate face down) when used
for pool cleaning. It can have a pipe attached to it with jubilee clip and usually
a bottom cleaning brush on the other end of the pipe. After use, remove from
skimmer to allow water flow to return.
Assembly Instructions for the Return Fitting
a. From the external side of the pool wall, using a sharp knife, cut a circular hole out
of the liner for the return fitting connection via the pre-formed hole in the pool
wall. The hole should be about 5-10 mm smaller than the pre-formed hole in the
pool wall.
b. Take the other hose coupler and screw it into the return fitting body. Use Tef-
lon® tape for sealing (do not use adhesives or sealing putties).
c. Insert the return fitting into the circular hole in the wall from the internal side of
the pool so that one rubber gasket can be fitted from inside the pool and that
one cork gasket and the other rubber gasket can be fitted from outside the pool.
Tighten the return spring properly.
d. Screw the locking nut with swivel head into the return fitting hole and align it so
that it can face towards the hole of the skimmer.
e. Connect the skimmer and the return fitting with the filter using the help of
hoses. Secure the connections using the hose couplings.
