Skimmer replacement and re-plumb in Cape Coral

Our repair crew replaced the skimmer on a Cape Coral pool. They dug out the old skimmer, re-plumbed it, sealed it to the pool wall and patched the deck in one day.

Getting the pool ready

The crew neutralized the chlorine before draining, then lowered the pool about 1,000 gallons to get below the skimmer.

Digging out the old skimmer

They cut out the deck around the skimmer and dug down to the suction line and the return line beside it, then removed the old skimmer.

New skimmer, new plumbing

The new skimmer was set level and re-plumbed to the suction line. The crew packed the gap between the skimmer and the pool wall with hydraulic cement so the throat seals tight.

Backfill and deck patch

After backfilling, the crew poured a concrete patch around the new skimmer lid. The pool was ready to fill the next day.
