Most likely there is a leak in the sealing around the fixture of the skimmer onto the tiles of the pool. You can easily mend this by applying underwater kit.
Air bubbles in your toilet bowl can be caused by a few different reasons, such as a clog in the plumbing system, a malfunctioning vent pipe, or a problem with the water pressure. These bubbles are a sign that there is an issue with the plumbing system that may need to be addressed by a professional plumber.
Yes you can. Drop the waterline in the pool below skimmer level, dig a whole around your skimmer to gain access. Unscrew the skimmer faceplate and remove it as well the old gasket. You also have to remove the second gasket between liner and wall. Detach the pipe(s) from the skimmer. Now install the new skimmer by attaching the pipe(s) to the skimmer put new gaskets in place screw the faceplate back on and you're done. Don't forget to fill your hole again and put water back in the pool to the appropriate level. ;-) Jens Poseidon Pool Services, Dunrobin, ON
If you caused the pipe to break, then you are responsible for the damage caused. If it broke from rust, or some other reason you had no control of, it is the owners problem. Exception is if the pipe froze and you allowed it to freeze and could have prevented it.
Bubbles in your toilet when it flushes could be caused by a clog in the plumbing vent, a blockage in the drain pipe, or a malfunctioning toilet tank component. It is recommended to have a plumber inspect and diagnose the issue for proper resolution.
Dig it up and replace the leaking section.
I think you are referring to a Jandy valve. The valve diverts water from the main drain to the skimmers. When vacuuming, turn the valve so it is pointing to the skimmer inlet pipe. OR It could also be called a diverter valve located at the bottom of the skimmer depending on the age of the skimmer. k
During prper winterization, the water in the bottom drain is usually "blown" out with compressed air. How this happens, is that a pipe with a schrader valve (the same type of valve on a ture intertube) is inserted into a pipe that is threaded into the pipe below the skimmer (with the leaf basket removed) An air compressor is then used to fill the tube with air. The air forces the water out of the entire pipe. Bubbles will come up from the drain when all of the water has been blown out of the pipe. The pressure of the air being in the pipe keeps the water from flowing back into the pipe. Hope this answers your question.
Sure you can. You'll need to use a net to clean the junk off the top often so it doesn't sink and cause stains or clog up the main drain.You can however it would be a good Idea to repair or replace the existing skimmer with a different method of skimming say a suction side floating skimmer as there are many materials that float to the top of a swimming pool that may be hazardous to health RB
A gurgling noise in your sink may be caused by a blockage in the drain pipe, which can lead to air bubbles getting trapped and creating the sound. It could also be due to a venting issue in the plumbing system. It is recommended to have a plumber inspect and fix the problem to prevent any further issues.
Sometimes, a stove pipe is caused by a weak or improper grip; the slide doesn't cycle fully. Sometimes it's caused by an extractor problem. If it happens infrequently, it's probably grip issue.
Best guess is that there is a leak in the return pipe from the skimmer to the pump. Sorry to say its probly not a cheap fix. There also could be a leak at the gasket around the skimmer opening.
Vinyl lined pools usually do not have a .5" or .75" PVC pipe overflow but if they did they would most likely be found in the skimmer wall. k
