POOL PREPARATION
The pool must be properly erected per Doughboy's Pool
Assembly & Installation Instructions. There should be
approximately 2' of water up the metal wall so that the
liner is under weight and stretched to proper position
prior to installing skim filter. NOTE: The liner cannot be
shifted after the skim filter entry holes have been cut.
SKIM FILTER INSTALLATION
1.
Remove all components from carton. Remove lid
from filter assembly by sliding forward and lifting.
Remove basket, hardware package and filter
element from filter.
2.
Attach weir assembly (30) to skim filter (10) using
three screws (20). Push the weir inside the filter so
that the foam side is down.

If you are installing onto a Doughboy Classic 8 1/2”
pool, you will need to use a Doughboy Skimmer
Extension (model # 0-2351-001) with this skimmer.
The instructions provided with the extension will
replace steps 4 thru 6 of this owner’s guide. Refer

the assembly, return to step 7 in this owner’s guide
to complete skimmer and return fitting installation.

top corner holes. With these screws protruding
through the top corner holes of them gasket (27),
carefully push the screws through the holes which
have been pierced in the liner. Place the second
gasket (27) on the exposed screw threads outside
the pool wall. From the outside of the pool, align the
skim filter with these screws. Tighten the two
screws just until they start to grab the skim filter
body.

Doughboy's Skim-Line Vacuum Skim Filter makes
pool maintenance easier, faster and very convenient.
The filter skims floating leaves, insects and dust
from the pool surface, and collects the debris in a
skimmer basket. The collected water and debris are
pulled down through a high-action filter element.
The tiny particles of debris are trapped in the ele-
ment and the water is "polished" to sparkling clarity.
