What kind of skimmer should be used with an 18 ft X 48 inch round above-ground swimming pool if the pump being used is a Meteor 21 sand filter system?

Firstly, the pump is not a sand filter system. The pump is the one with the motor attached and it pumps water not sand. The large round tank is the "sand" filter. You would have to find a skimmer made for vinyl pools with gaskets. It attaches to the wall of the pool and is seen "hanging" from the outside of the pool. The type of pool and equipment have no factor in choosing a skimmer.
another good way to go is the Dragonfly Super skimmer this is a floating pool skimmer and only requires a hose to connect it to suction

Difference of a pool skimmer and pool filter?
A pool skimmer is generally built into the side of or around the top of a swimming pool in order to skim debris from the surface of the water. A pool filter is built into the plumbing in order to filter fine debris from the water itself.

Empty the skimmer baskets and the basket that's attached to the pump. Then backwash and rinse the filter.
How do you get water your of your in-ground pool after it rains?
The best way would be to unplug the swimming pool filter, open the drain valve on your pool filter turn the pump back on and drop the water level to the desired level about 2 inches above the skimmer.
Why do you add algae control to the pool skimmer?
Adding algae control to the pool skimmer helps to disperse the chemical and coats the filter media.
Why are small insects not filtering out of your swimming pool?
If bugs are'nt filtering out of your pool and you have a filter, obviously your filter is'nt working. Hope this helped. Bugs will naturally swim away from a strong current that is drawing them to a certain point. If the bug is not drawn into either the skimmer or the main drain grate they will never get to the filter. Even then, they will get caught in the skimmer basket or the pump basket. The filter is not intended for catching the bugs - that is what leaf skimmers are for. If thebug is on the bottom of the pool you can then vac it up but still it will only go as far as the pump basket.
When you turn off the sand filter for your in ground swimming pool the skimmer seems to be released from a vacuum causing the basket to pop and water to bubble up?
There is air in the system and it is "burping". I usec to have the problem and I hard lined it from the pump to the filter. Also use teflon tape on any threaded connections. Make them tight but dont break the plastic. Also make sure your hose clamps are tight on the skimmer and return.
Swimming pool water is up to the brim with rain. Could it be something's not working properly?
No it is working as one would normally expect. swimming pools don't normally have an over flow fitted so the pool just keeps filling up past the static skimmer. the only way to fix it is just to backwash the filter until it is at the right level again. or if you don't want to waste the water get a floating pool skimmer.
How do you clean above ground swimming pool filter?
If its a cartridge filter. Cut of the water from the skimmer as well as possible then take the upper cover of the cartridge filter take out the element and hose it down. Put it back together. start the pump often there is a valve on the top of these to let excess air out, open it until water starts to run out of it.

No, not so long as the filter is not set to back wash
