• If a one part skimmer has been supplied it will
need to be fitted during assembly of the pool walls.
• Refer to the instructions that came with your
skimmer and ensure that all screws, rubber
gaskets and other parts are carefully stored.
• Pay particular attention to making sure that the
skimmer is the correct way up, look for the marking
“top”. Also ensure the skimmer is mounted
horizontally by checking with a spirit level during
fixing.
[See Figure B12, B13, B14]
• Drill four holes in each corner of the skimmer
[see
figure B13]
Locate the screws from the pool fixings
kit and secure the skimmer into the pool wall
[see
figure B14]
Do not use the screws that come with
the skimmer, they are used later for the liner face
plate The screws should not protrude above where
the skimmer faceplate should finish, and be
careful not to form sharp edges on the screws.
• If a two part skimmer has been supplied it is worth
considering waiting until you have installed the
liner and created a vacuum seal, before you glue
the main skimmer body to the skimmer throat that
you have fixed to the pool. This is a large glue joint
and is a two person job. Hold the skimmer body in
position while the glue sets.

two self adhesive gaskets provided in place)
