THRU-THE-WALL SKIMMER

IMPORTANT!! BEFORE CONTINUING WITH THIS STEP
YOU MUST KNOW WHICH TYPE OF THROUGH THE WALL SKIMMER
YOU WILL BE USING WITH YOUR POOL
Your pool wall has cutouts to accomodate both standard size skimmers and deluxe wide mouth
skimmers. If you have a wide mouth skimmer, you will be required to remove the entire cutout as
shown in figure 1. To remove the section, you can use either tin snips or a hammer and knife as
shown in figure 3. If you have a standard size skimmer, only remove the inside section of the cutout,
and place duct tape around the remaining scored sections as shown in figure 2.
If the through wall filter inlet and outlet holes are to be used, remove metal cutouts by breaking
perforations using a knife and hammer as shown. Refer to skimmer manufacturer's instructions
for remainder of skimmer assembly.
Make sure skimmer does not leak as this will corrode
the pool wall and cause a split in the wall that is not covered under the pool warranty.
It is recommended to coat the exposed metal on both sides with a clear lacquer or nail
polish to help resist rust and corrosion.
