I have a slow leak around the skimmer of my pool. Can I use it there?

All I know. Is that every place my husband. Used it, it worked great. I would think it would work great on skimmer

We purchased the same plunger for our pool, because our original was left out for the winter and cracked. I have never had a problem with it leaking. It has worked fine. Make sure your gaskets are tight and in place and you shouldn't have any trouble with leaking.

I don't think so, this is just a rubber protector and conditioner. It helps to keep rubber from drying out. Sounds like you might be beyond that. But you might give it a try if the leak is not to bad.

As long as you have the right connections for your pool inlet (the valve where water is drawn out of the pool by the pump) then you should have no problems. I use this on a 16' above ground (soft side) Intex pool with a skimmer that hangs on the inside. It's amazing what the difference is!

Should be no problem adding between pool skimmer and pump. May have to pickup PVC fittings (adapters and reducers, etc.)

If you have a skimmer fliter that hangs on the side of your pool it will work, mine does great so far

If your pool is a metal sided aboveground, you can use it. If you need more help, you can call FamilyPoolFun Tech Line at 800952210.

I don't know. If it is a swimming pool, I would not use it. I would contact the company who makes it.

I used the staypoolizer because my skimmer line had a leak. The tolerance maintain was within 1 to 2" of the staypoolizer. It worked very well to maintain the appropriate water level.

No, you can't screw the Intex hose and plunger valve directly to the bottom of this skimmer. However, In The Swim has an adapter that is meant to adapt an Intex hose to a standard pump, but it will also work the other way around to adapt an Intex pump and hose to a standard skimmer like this one. Go to intheswim.com and search for part A2656. Wrap the smaller end of the adapter with the supplied Teflon tape and screw it into the bottom of the skimmer. If the hose barb included with the skimmer is already screwed into the bottom, take it out. You won't need it. Then screw the Intex plunger valve onto the larger end of the adapter and hook up your Intex pump and hose to the plunger valve as you normally would. I don't think you'll need the supplied gasket because the plunger valve has an o-ring on it, so it should seal. The gasket is for hooking the Intex hose up to a standard pump. But hang on to the gasket anyway, it may come in handy someday. And be sure to use the Teflon tape on the smaller end. Otherwise, that connection will definitely leak. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Try this YouTube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdb2Zc-maMw ) which requires you to use a hole saw and open up the bottom of the skimmer. I used a Hayward inlet fitting with adapter and attached the hose to that with a hose clamp. Also, the pumps fittings are tapered and I opened them up to 1 1/2 inches by cutting at the next graduation, this allowed for better water flow. My base is pretty level so I am also able to use a Pentair Lil'Shark to clean the pool bottom. Hope this helped.

Yes, you can, and it is the better solution then through the scimmer. Most likely you have to use the valve.It is actually easy to set up. You probably have already tried all possible configurations ;) good luck and a clean pool !

I'm assuming you can. You will need two hoses to do this. The unit is designed for pool cleaners that the hoses that have a larger end on one end and a smaller one on the other. And you also need a small hose between the Hayward Pool vac Navigator and your skimmer. You would just have to work this out.

The lid will not leak as it is sealed by some sort of rubber o-ring. In most pool applications, this and the pool filter are located on the ground with the pool level being 3 or 4 feet above the inlet.

I installed the Hydro Tool skimmer on my Intex brand steel supported above 4'X 16' ground pool a year ago and have had no problems. Your pool has to have exterior support. It is easily installed even when there is water in the pool . The only thing that will worry you is the first time it rains. The excess water percolates through the top giving the appearance of a leak. Have had mine for almost two years now and it's great. I hope this helps.

Hook it to the skimmer. It's a good idea to prime the hose with water but if not it will get suction after a bit. Just takes longer. Close the suction to everything except your skimmer.

I was very unhappy with this skimmer because of the design, mine leaked. I would puchase another brand. I have different pump/ filter on mine, not familiar with the standard one you have. You may want to chk out site called troublefreepool.com for lots of ideas
