My pool is leaking and the water has stopped just below the skimmer plate. My guess the line connecting to the bottom of the skmmer is cracked. How do I repair this problem?

You need to get epoxy from Home Depot, it's in the Plumbing department. I used this years ago on my filter. It is in a tube costs about ten dollars and will last forever. All you need to do is roll it back in forth in your hands to form a thin like snake and place it over the crack. Good luck

My skimmer is cracked on the side were the strainer basket fits. I used first PVC Primer & then PVC Cement. Its not leaking. These 2 small cans come packaged togaether. I got it at Home Depot.

Swimming pool pump that works fine However when you hook up the vacuum to it it loses its pressure and suction Is it that the pump is just to old?
Possible causes: holes, cracks in vac hose - bad lid o-ring on pump - pump seal leaking - cracked pump lid or housing - pump basket full of debris - cracked or broken plumbing between the pump and the skimmer/vac hose connector.
In ground pool when filled up and pump running water is leaking somewhere but will stop after it is under the skimmer could someone please tell what might be wrong?
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.
Why does the pump basket lose water when you try to vacuum?
I had this problem as well and it was a cracked gasket in between the pump and the pool. When I wasn't vacuuming the basket was gravity fed by the skimmer but when vacuuming it was suction fed and air enterd the hose. Check your fittings and connections. Hope this helps. Derek

How do you vacuum a Doughboy and where do you plug in the equipment?
In order to vacuumn the pool you must first put in the vacuum and the hose. You can siphon the air out of the hose by putting it in front of the return to dispace all air in the hose line. Then turn off the pump. Insert the end of the vacuum line either into the port at the bottom of the skimmer in the pool or remove the skimmer basket and insert it in the bottom of the skimmer. Then after the line is secure, turn on the pump motor. Your vacuum should be ready to use (manually) or run automatically if you have an automatic pool cleaner such as an Aquabug. If you have a slimline skimmer there is a port located just below the skimmer door it is used for the vac hose. After connecting the hose you put your skimmer lid down inside of skimmer and then you can turn on pump. By doing it this way you can let skimmer basket catch all large debries. This saves on having to backwash so much.
