The first step involves determining where your swimming pool vacuum cleaners will be located. This is typically on the downwind side of your pool so that the prevailing winds will push debris towards it. Once a location is selected, mark it clearly, ensuring enough room for the skimmer box.

Put on your safety goggles and dust mask before starting. Using a concrete saw, begin to cut out the area you’ve marked for your skimmer. It’s key to remember that it’s better to start smaller; you can always make the cut larger if needed.

After making the cut, slot your pool skimmer into the opening. Have someone on the inside of the pool hold the skimmer in place while the adjustments are made to make it fit snugly.

Once the best pool vac neatly fits into the cut out opening, it’s time to secure it in place. Use concrete screws to affix it firmly to the pool wall, ensuring the skimmer mouth is level with the pool’s water level.

No installation is complete without a proper leak test. After installing the pool vacs, fill up the pool until water reaches midway up the skimmer’s mouth. Observe for a while, looking out for potential leaks. If there’s any leakage, promptly tighten the screws further.

Lastly, adjust the water level if necessary. The ideal water level is halfway up the skimmer entrance. This helps the skimmer function optimally, effectively removing any debris from your pool.

In conclusion

Installing an pool skimmer in a concrete pool requires some degree of concrete cutting and drilling, but with the right tools and some extra hands, it’s a task that can be tackled by the DIY enthusiast. Offering up a clean, debris-free swimming experience, an efficiently installed skimmer is the secret behind every pristine pool.
