When you turn off the pump, the water flow stops, causing a sudden drop in pressure within the skimmer and the plumbing system. This can lead to a backflow of water, pushing it out of the skimmer basket. If the basket is not securely seated or if there are air leaks in the system, it may pop off, allowing water to gush out. Additionally, clogged pipes or a full skimmer basket can exacerbate this issue by creating additional pressure.
A skimmer weir is the plastic flap and the opening of the skimmer. It traps leaves that are pulled into the skimmer when the pump is running and then holds the leaves in the skimmer whne the pump shuts down
I think you are referring to a Jandy valve. The valve diverts water from the main drain to the skimmers. When vacuuming, turn the valve so it is pointing to the skimmer inlet pipe. OR It could also be called a diverter valve located at the bottom of the skimmer depending on the age of the skimmer. k
Ideally you show keep your water level between one third and one half the way up the opening of the skimmer. This is the level at which the skimmer(s) operate most efficiently.
You might have debris stuck between the wier and the skimmer mouth. Or your deck or bond beam may have shifted slightly causing the wier (skimmer door) to stick. You might be able to shave a little off the sides of the wier to allow it to work.
if your talking about the plane skimmer there is no skimmer but there is a very simulair plane called a dodo
Yes you can. Drop the waterline in the pool below skimmer level, dig a whole around your skimmer to gain access. Unscrew the skimmer faceplate and remove it as well the old gasket. You also have to remove the second gasket between liner and wall. Detach the pipe(s) from the skimmer. Now install the new skimmer by attaching the pipe(s) to the skimmer put new gaskets in place screw the faceplate back on and you're done. Don't forget to fill your hole again and put water back in the pool to the appropriate level. ;-) Jens Poseidon Pool Services, Dunrobin, ON
Widow Skimmer was created in 1839.
Purple Skimmer was created in 1922.
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.
