When you replace the liner on your above ground pool can you cover up the holes for the return and skimmer and put the holes somewhere else on the pool wall?
Yes you can, it will void your warranty on the pool wall, but it can be done. Make a template from the existing skimmer hole so you can cut in the new hole. After the liner is removed simply duct tape a piece of galvanized sheet metal, paint the cut edges as to prevent rust, ofer the holes for the skimmer and return. Make sure the sheet metal is at least 6"-10" past the existing holes. The duct tape only holds the metal in place and protects the liner from sharp edges.
Do you have to replace a pool liner 18 x 48 above ground once the pool has been taken apart?
It really depends on the age of the liner. If its 2 or under it can be packed in water and reused. If its older it is impossible and most likely is already dried out from chlorine and sun. To play it safe its easier to start with a new liner. Its difficult to realign the cut out for the skimmer if you have an in the wall skimmer also.
Can you fill an above ground pool less than full height?
It has to be filled above the skimmer ( flow to pump) or else the filter will not work. Also, if too low the liner may dry out above the water line and cause it to shrink.
How do you build a deck around an above ground pool?

Can you replace a skimmer without replacing the liner?
There are several forums that describe how to replace a skimmer. Assuming you have a concrete walled pool, it will require pouring of cement and doweling epoxy coated metal rods into the existing wall. If this isn't done it will crack and cause additional skimmer leak problems. Assuming the above, and even with an exact replacement, it would be impractical to try and save the liner, and to assume that cutouts and holes will line up etc. However, if it is a budget challenge and you have no choice, a less cosmetically appealing attempt could be to apply a patch over the existing cutout. This would require obtaining a section of pool liner (such as a 16 x 24 inch piece), vinyl pool patch cement,and, of course, creating a fairly large patch that extends to the upper lip of the liner and several inches around the perimeter of the skimmer. (This patch will never match your existing liner ...thus the reason it would be less appealing.) After lowering your pool water level, remove the skimmer bezel (on the water side of the pool liner) and, leaving the upper lip of the liner locked in it's channel, apply the patch in place. (This you would do before attempting any skimmer repair.) Let the patch dry for a day, make certain it looks well sealed, and then pull the liner out of the channel sufficiently enough to conduct the skimmer replacement work. After the new skimmer is in place, carefully reinstall the liner in the channel. Install the new bezel and screws and cut out the skimmer hole. When installing the liner section back in the channel, keep a pot of very warm water nearby. You will likely need to pour it on that section of liner to allow it to strectch into place. Bob
