Cutting up concrete to get to skimmer line.

[@Liveharley1]

I started with a clogged line cleared it the next day pool loses 2 inches of water paid the contractor to pressure test and locate he did $150 I am at the point where you are, I will call a contractor to get an estimate too costly I will do it myself thank you for posting the video its good to see what I will have to rent concrete saw and for sure a jackhammer. lol

Great Video, this probably saved me from replacing the entire skimmer which I imagine would be an even larger job.

[@WranglerRunner1]

Great video. Have the same issue with my 1976 era gunite pool for the home I just purchased. Been having a difficult time finding anyone that repairs these things.

PMCRyan yeah everyone I called wanted $2500 or more

Impressive job, sir! I came across this video as I was searching how winterized a pool. I'm glad I saw it, because I think we have a leak at the exact same level. The gravel around the skimmer is even cracked.

Outstanding video got a quote for $26000.00 new lines.and skimmer will do it myself for under $100

[@Ryan-Chicago]

Great video! Thanks! I'm suuuuper excited to do this job on my pool now.

Cool video, but should have replaced the whole skimmer. Hayward does not make those plastic skimmers to last forever.
