Appreciate it! I considered upgrading to a Hayward skimmer the last few years. I just don't want to do it 😆 Though when we eventually upgrade to a deeper soft sided pool I'll likely upgrade the skimmer as well. There's some water depth loss with that upgrade, though it is more functional and will yield less maintenance as you said. We have little issues with the over the wall skimmer, it pulls debris from around the entire ring. No issues mounting either. The key for us has been keeping the water level as high as we can.

Sure! What do you need to know? Happy to help! 😁

@@pmann46 I just wanted to see how you had it attached to your pool :)

​@@realisticmystic444Tell you what, I'll take a quick video for you and reply with a YT link here in a bit!

@@realisticmystic444 here you go! Hope this is helpful for you. Please let me know and good luck! ruclips.net/video/5nMFWwaB4JU/видео.htmlsi=BJLa9jQyx-QXchDS

Yes I mention also checking the hoses in the video. Thank you for commenting!

Thanks so much for the love!! Good luck!

To the pump basket or the skimmer basket? Do you have a splitter valve between your B ports?

Mine’s the same way. The manual says to never tighten that top knob as it can ‘create explosive conditions’

Great move!!

Hahahaha I feel your pain!!

First try running some super cold water over, around, and underneath the lid. Most materials (including plastics) will contract when they are cooled. Then, get a pair of multi-purpose grippers off Amazon. You know, the grippers you would use in your kitchen for a stuck jar lid...perhaps you already have some. Get two of those for both hands, hold the basket steady and twist counterclockwise with all your might. Let me know how it goes!

if you do get it off, make sure you thoroughly clean the lid, gasket, and inside of the threads on the basket. The reason its likely stuck is due to debris build up in there, making it difficult to loosen.

That's a great suggestion. I should have thought of that! Will give that a go next season for sure. I'm only three years in so yes, definitely still learning! Thanks again for the advice and guidance!

We don't drain it. We leave it up and keep it full throughout the winter. I'm in NJ and I've kept it up through cold weather and snow. The amount of work to pull the entire pool down is just too much IMO. You're left having to relevel and start from scratch come spring, not to mention the costs of filling the pool again.

@@pmann46 ok thanks for some reason it look like you drained it to me.

@@oldandslow8994yes, it had inadvertently gotten drained a bit due to one of the B port hoses that cracked. I might have mentioned this in the beginning of the video, but I don't remember! Haha

🤣 😆 it's true

Air is coming in from somewhere, likely where the leak is. There should be gaskets on every hose connect that go to and from your pump and filter. Definitely start there. Though, it sounds like the hose that goes into your basket could be the culprit.

@@pmann46 I was looking at it more last night it’s leaking from the part where the basket connects to the pump. Where all the screws are. I have tightened all the screws.

@@mommas1351 that's unfortunate and doesn't happen often. But if that's the case, you will need to disassemble it and make sure the o-ring there is intact as well. Here is a link to a diagram of the pump and filter along with part numbers if you need to order a new o-ring: intexcorp.com/replacement-parts/krystal-clear-filtration-sanitation/sand-filter-pumps/2800-gph/2023/26647eg/

It will be part # 23

Yeah I had it flowing faster before I stopped and reshot the video. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks!! My wife wasn't a fan of it though 😅

Always great to connect with some more Jersey folk! Ha! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for the comment!

Thanks so much!

Holy shit what a terrific idea! Lol

@@ronmilly2121 ha!!! Thanks!!

Hope it was helpful!! I'm all about easier processes! Thanks for the comment!
