READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Use one skimmer per 500 square feet of pool surface area. Suction line sizes are based on a water velocity of less than
seven feet per second. Since building codes vary, check your local building code before installing pool and skimmer.
• NOTICE: When the skimmer is formed into the concrete shell of the pool it should be surrounded by at least 4” of
structural concrete in a monolithic pour, using a cold joint as shown in installation drawings (Fig. 1).
• For optimum skimmer functionality, the skimmer should be placed relative to the prevailing wind and water flow direction.
