Skimmer replacement on Fort Myers Beach

A Fort Myers Beach pool was leaking at the skimmer throat. Our leak detection found it, and we came back the next week to replace the skimmer under the travertine deck.

Finding the leak

Both sides of the plumbing passed. The dye test found the leak in the skimmer throat, where the skimmer meets the pool wall. It was the only leak, and the skimmer needed to be replaced.

Removing the old skimmer

We lifted the travertine pavers around the skimmer and dug it out down to the plumbing.

The new skimmer

The new skimmer was set, plumbed into the suction line, and finished at the pool wall so the throat seals to the tile.

The pavers

We reset the 3 pavers we removed. Other pavers around the deck were sinking, which a paver company would need to reset.
