i think its up
make a cut out hole in the deck. make the deck "flush" with the skimmer lid or make it just above and do a removable deck section to hide the skimmer. Also leave enough room between the top pool railing and the deck for liner replacement
Yes possibly In reality, the skimmer will not cause a leak. What causes leaks are people who do not connect or glue the fittings to the skimmer properly. Or ground movement like earthquakes. k
No as long as the skimmer section of the pool is properly supported like the rest of the pool
If you can get the right skimmer you should not have too much of a problem However if you cant get a replacement you may be able to get out of it by getting a floating pool skimmer with inline leaf basket.
No, you do not need to drain your pool. In fact, it is way better to keep the pool full so as to save water replacement every spring and the fact that the pool cover will sit higher makes it last longer too. There is a product called an AQUADOR' that covers the skimmer opening much like a Tupperware lid that keeps the water in the pool. It is inexpensive, easy and earth friendly.
Dig it up and replace the leaking section.
They are usually attached with a hose to vac source & float on top.
