Lucky 7 Skimmer: Installation And Operation Guide
Section 1: Mounting Skimmer to Pool Wall
1)
Locate the best position for optimum skimmer performance relative to water flow and wind direction.
Whenever possible avoid placing the skimmer where there are thicker portions of the fiberglass pool
wall like cored portions, lift points, etc…by visually inspecting the backside of the pool prior to
determining final location.
2)
Place the flat surface of the faceplate (Part No. TP5193540) on the pool wall. Ensure the top of the
faceplate is level and a maximum 1 inch of the top of the fiberglass pool wall. Once in place, mark and
outline the center opening with a black marker.
3)
Cut out pool wall center opening. Cut along the outside of the marked line of the center opening. Refer
to the table below for guidance.

With the faceplate fitting securely inside the opening, mark the skimmer mounting holes.

Using a ¼” diameter drill bit, drill out the holes you marked in Step 5.
