Using silicone on a pool skimmer gasket is generally not recommended, as it can interfere with the gasket's ability to create a proper seal. Instead, it's best to use a gasket specifically designed for pool skimmers or a suitable sealant that is compatible with pool equipment. Silicone may also break down over time in water, leading to leaks. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for repairs to ensure the best results.

How do you lower pool water below the skimmer?
To lower pool water below the skimmer, you can use a submersible pump or a garden hose to siphon water out. If using a pump, place it in the shallow end of the pool and let it run until the water level drops below the skimmer. Alternatively, you can create a siphon by placing one end of a hose in the pool and the other end at a lower elevation, then filling the hose with water and letting gravity do the work. Always ensure to monitor the water level to avoid damaging the skimmer or pool equipment.
Does the main drain line in skimmer have water in it when closing the pool?
No. You cannot use the main drain to lower the water level below the skimmer. This is because the main drain is not really a drain. It only connects right back to the 3 port valve in the skimmer.
