Our repair crew replaced the skimmer on a Fort Myers pool. They set the new skimmer level, tested the lines before closing it up, and patched the deck around the new lid.

Draining and cutting out the old skimmer

The crew drained about 3,000 gallons to get below the skimmer, then cut out the old skimmer and the deck around it.

Setting the new skimmer

The new skimmer was set level so it skims evenly at the right water line.

Plumbing test before closing up

Before closing it up, the crew ran a plumbing test on the lines to make sure they held.

Patching the deck

Then they patched the deck around the new skimmer lid.
