The liner is supposed to get tucked inside the butterfly gasket.

This was so helpful. Thank you. By far the best step by step video for an above ground pool so far!

Thank you for the video of one of the major parts of installing an above ground pool that all the other worthless install videos just don't even bother talking about.

I thought the with this style and the butterfly gasket was supposed to go over the liner and pool wall. So the liner would have to be cut first.

Just did a replacement with this style. Did it like he did. No problems.

@@BundyDunbar I did it like shown in the video and it's leaking. Reinstalling with the butterfly gasket over the liner now. The trick is to match the screw holes that are in the liner now.

oh, you probably meant "match"

I thin film of silicone between the gasket and the pool liner will stop any leaking. I do it before I install the screws.

You should also mention that there should be at least some water in the pool before doing this, preferably half way or so. otherwise if u do this before adding any water the opening will stretch when water is pumped into the pool. liked and subbed regardless!!

cut the liner first then install the gasket or water will leak behind the liner.

@Royal Swimming Pools - Please redo this video showing the proper installation of the skimmer. Butterfly gasket covers BOTH the liner and pool wall. Leaking will occur if installed as shown in this video.

My instructions show that the inside of the butterfly gasket should contain both the wall and liner, rather than have the gasket over the liner. But I'm nervous to cut the liner first.
@RoyalSwimmingPools2 жыл бұрын
You should not cut the liner until after the skimmer is full installed. The liner goes between the gasket and the skimmer faceplate.

We have the EXACT skimmer model he shows installation for and we just looked at the manual. It CLEARLY states that the rubber gasket goes over the steel wall but OVER the liner. 1. CUT LINER FIRST. 2. THEN, INSTALL GASKET OVER BOTH. Don't make our mistake-water leaked out from the inside DOWN past the liner and onto the inside of the pool wall. NOT GOOD and the very reason you're supposed to do the above. Not sure where this guy gets his training but it is OPPOSITE the actual manual for this exact skimmer. Please learn from our nightmare.

This was my thinking too. I'm literally about to install our skimmer, and the instructions show that the inside of the butterfly gasket should contain both the wall and the liner. It only makes sense...
