Does water leak out of pool skimmer?
here is how I did it - I built a box out of wood big enough to cover the skimmer area . I built mine out of scrap wood. I then covered the edges of the box with foam window seal to give it a good seal. Place the box over the skimmer area. When you start you will only lose the water inside the box and the water pressure will seal the area. Replace skimmer, remove box.
When adding earth to an in ground pool do you pour it in the skimmer box or into the pool it self?
Add thru the skimmer box
What will happen if pour pellet stabilizer in the skimmer box and turn the skimmer box suction on does it get flushed down the drain?

How can the swimming pool be set up to fill all the way to the top without spending a fortune on moving the skimmer box?

Will 2 twin size bed box springs replace a queen size bed box spring?
They will not. A queen size bed is 60" x 80" and a twin size is 39" x 75" and an XL twin would be 39" x 80". Two XL twin box springs are what you would use for a king size bed.
Why does your skimmer box make a screeching noise?
A skimmer box may produce a screeching noise due to several factors, such as a clogged or dirty filter, which can restrict water flow and cause the pump to strain. Additionally, a worn-out or damaged pump motor may create unusual sounds as it operates under stress. Lastly, loose components or vibrations from the skimmer box itself can contribute to the screeching noise. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify and resolve these issues.

How does a pond skimmer box work?
A pond skimmer box, in conjunction with a water pump, skims the surface water, removing a lot of organic material before it becomes waterlogged and sinks. In this way, quite a bit of useless 'bioload' in your pond is prevented, as long as the skimmer is cleaned regularly.A skimmer box consists of a relatively small (about 1 foot cube, or less), sealed compartment that sits in the top foot or so of the water. It may be permanently anchored at the edge of the pond outside the liner (in which case it requires cutting a hole through the liner that must also be sealed to the skimmer) or it may be a drop-in skimmer that sits in the water and its plumbing passes over the liner (no cutting or sealing to the liner.) There is a floating 'flapper', called a weir, which constricts the water being skimmed to just the top inch or less and yet can adjust to a varying depth of water (in other words, within several inches, no matter how deep the water in the pond is, due to evaporation or whatever, the weir makes sure only the top inch or less is predominantly is what is being skimmed.)The skimmer must be connected to a water pump's intake. This creates negative pressure in the skimmer box and draws water from the pond over the weir into the skimmer box, through the pump and out the pump's output. There is usually some kind of strainer in the skimmer box so that the pump does not draw very large bits of debris into the pump, possibly damaging the impeller or pumping mechanism. At least this part of the skimmer is what must be cleaned regularly (as regularly as your pond collects floating debris, once a day is a good place to start) or the pump's intake can become plugged and severely strained. (A water pump's intake should not be restricted, if you want to cut down a pump's flow, cut down the output.)The water output by the pump, after it has passed through the skimmer, may be further treated (such as by UV, through a pressure bio-filter, etc.) or returned directly to the pond. If the water is further treated - or if the further treatment is the only additional treatment - a skimmer, plus the pump and (bio)filter - can make a very effective and complete filtration system for your pond.The less expensive, less large (less obtrusive) drop-in skimmers work exactly as well as skimmers as an outside model and offer a lot more flexibility than one that is permanently installed. Permanent ones often have additional filtering built into the skimmer box, making them very large but then everything - skimmer and filter, sometimes also the pump - is in one box, the "skimmer." In some cases, depending on your landscaping, etc., drop-in ones are more noticeable than permanent models, but with some creativity they can be hidden or camouflaged easily and you will save a bunch of money and a lot of frustration if you need/want to reconfigure the skimmer's position or make other plumbing design changes.Have fun with your pond!
How do you fix the skimmer flaps on an inground concrete pool?
Actually, they aren't a bad thing to remove all together. Skimmer flaps are a notorious place for algae, especially black or mustard, and bacteria to hide and grow, which makes reoccurance terribly probable. Removing them all together will not harm the performance of your pool. I beg to differ with the answer above - The skimmer works because the water jets create a flow which pushes the water past the skimmer. The skimmer is pulling water down which causes debris on the top of the water to get caught in the basket. The skimmer flap(s) limits the amount of water being sucked in by the skimmer causing more suction and making the skimmer more efficient. It is important for the skimmer doors, or "weirs" as they are called, to be in place for your skimmer to work properly. Try it for yourself. With the skimmer running, place your hand, a brick or some other obstruction where the skimmer door should be. Restrict the water flow a bit in some way. You will see a much larger volume of water being sucked into the skimmer than with no door at all. If you already have a flap or wier in place, do the reverse. With the skimmer running, hold the door completely open and see hose the flow virtually ceases. Replacement weirs or flaps can easily be found at your pool store. Just take your old one with you or measure the opening where it should sit. Little pegs on the sides of the replacements are spring loaded to keep it properly situated so it is very important that the new weir be exactly where you want it before pulling the pins securing the pegs. I hope this has helped!
