PVC SPA Skimmer
2. Function
Skimmers are used to eliminate the dirtiness suspended on the surface of the pool. For this reason, when
building the pool, it is recommended to install the skimmers so that their mouths facing the prevailing winds.
3. Installtion
First, When intall the skimmer faceplate you must be absolutely certain that each screw is compression tight.
Compression tight means tight enough that the flange squishes together hard enough that no water can leak
by. If any of the screws in your skimmer faceplate will not tighten all the way or are spinning in holes then
you will need to repair this is order to prevent a leak in this location.
In addition, make sure skimmer connection ports on the bottom connect to pool plumbing lines. These
connections are about as tricky as they come in terms of pool plumbing connections as you will mostly be
doing it blind and the height of the skimmer must be perfect to line up with the correct orientation on the pool
wall. The skimmer is what sets the water level of your pool so having it sit too high or too low is a problem.
4. Warning
The skimmer should be installed by a specialist technician.
Do not place chlorine or bromide tablets in the skimmer basket.
It is recommended to use products specifically designed to work with PVC.
