How to Tune Your Pool Skimmer

[@TherealDeltaEcho]

IRONIC! I’m cleaning the pool skimmer and trying to figure out how it works when I head up to the house for a break and this gem of a video pops up on KZbin! What a great video. I guess Alexa not only hears conversations but READS MINDS!

Great video, wish I had seen it years ago when I bought a house with a pool. Irritated that two people I hired to replaster and repair leaks over the years never bothered to point out that the O-ring in the bottom of the skimmer needed replaced, and the weir door is missing. I learned more from your video than any other source. Thanks!

[@mhunter1462]

Thank you sir. I just bought my first house and we have A 32,000 gallon pool. We went through 3 pool guys and nobody wants to explain to me how anything works. This was very helpful and insightful. Thank you again I am going to check mine now

[@nsramage2410]

Yep same … two pool guys terrible but in Australia Clark Pool supplies have been incredible and taught me so much! The Bunnings for pool dads!

[@TheLarryBrown]

don't expect much from a pool guy. He's trying to do ten pools a day and if he's at your house longer than 15 minutes he'll feel like he's losing money. He's there to check chems, chunk some chems, and vacuum, wash the filter once a month, and nothing else.

[@6977warrior1]

It's amazing how well designed a good pool is and how everything has to work together for proper function. The water level must be high enough, there are holes in the skimmer top for a reason, the weir door must work properly and have foam installed, etc etc. If any single item isn't correct, it can cause problems. A pool design is very well thought out by the designers/engineers for specific reasons.

[@TheLarryBrown]

So....what is the reason for the holes in the top? You have a point, but on the other hand some stuff is invented 100 years ago, like the light bulb, and never gets improved. Sometimes that's because there's a best way to do it, and the original inventor found that way and that's what made it possible and maybe no improvement is possible. But other times things remain primitive when they should be improved. Maybe sometimes that's because no one would choose to pay a higher price for an improved item. This skimmer is about four times more complex than I realized, however the weir door could be improved. When swimming the door bangs shut with an annoying slap as you splash around. It should have a damping mechanism that prevents that.

[@6977warrior1]

@@TheLarryBrown One of the reasons for a finger hole in the top of the skimmer lid is to put your finger in it to get the lid off.

[@jamesedwards8308]

Thank you! I live in Glendale AZ and have owned a pool for 22 years. The skimmer never worked correctly until I viewed your video. Works like a champ now. Greatly appreciate the video.

[@eltostonsito]

Well made and very informative video. As a swimming pool operator and repair person, in Florida, I'm always open to learning more about this industry. Thanks to your video I learned about the vac-mate. Now I have the perfect solution for customers who only have the skimmers as a means of circulating the water in the pool (some of them have had the main drains plugged because of leaks when they can't afford the repair). I can let them know that they don't have to sacrifice the skimmer function when using it as a vacuum line. Thanks!

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

I just put the weir back into my skimmer today. It is definitely worth the effort. My pool stays clean now even with flowers all around it.

[@artagain8977]

[@goblin103187]

This is the single best video on main drain/skimmer operation. Could not figure why the main drains weren't working at my brothers pool. Also didn't realize the vacuum suction port was a dedicated line/pipe. Explains why adjusting the jandy valve in front of pump sped up or slowed down the auto cleaner. Your video made everything make sense. Awesome video! Thanks a ton, Arizona Pool working correctly again!

[@akasleepyscott]

Thank you for this video!! Bought my house with the pool already there and had no clue why the skimmer never worked well....helps to have a Wier door.

[@Jaxon1127]

I knew the flapper door had a purpose but didnt relize it was that important. Thanks for explaining

[@markwalker3499]

BINGO, I just faved you, subscribed, and added this to my bookmarks. FINALLY a good explanation of how this sort of system works. The wier gate is missing from my skimmer. The 0 ring is missing also. I bought this house in Florida in April and had to hire a guy to do pool care not because I am rich or lazy, but it is totally different from my pool in California in the 80's that had a valve at the filter for how you want the water to draw to the pump. In 5 minutes I now understand and will watch the rest because I still don't understand how to attach a hose to get suction to vacuum the pool. I have a lot of stuff floating on the surface of the water, not big stuff like leaves, but dust that has clumped together. While dust clouds are coming from Africa people in Florida want all suction to be from the skimmer. I did not know how to do that till now. Thank you!

[@erickibarra5516]

Great information. Never knew The importance of the skimmer

[@kingofcastlechaos]

Awesome, I always thought pools should have flow from the main drain. Not shocked at all that every pool I have ever owned is missing that part. I will buy one next week and have already sent a link to this video to the people who bought my previous houses. Subscribed.

[@matt22blaster]

It never occurred to me that the weir door speeds the water up and helps it skim more effectively, I always thought the sole purpose was to keep the leaves from coming out when the pump shut off. Thank you.

[@timothybertotti7113]

Terrific speaking voice and organization. I really enjoyed the presentation. Keep doing more. Question I wanted answered was: What is the effect of closing down one of two skimmers and relying on just one?

[@TheLarryBrown]

Wjy would you want to do that? Obvious answer: You will get only half the skimming action available in your deluxe pool. The result will be more floating debris having time to get water logged and sink to the bottom, where it will require manual labor to recover.

[@chevpowr]

I am new to pools and am learning everything so i can service my own pool. Im missing all these parts!!! Very helpful video and thanks for the links as well.

[@ChuckD59]

Great video. I inherited a 33x17 inground vinyl liner when I bought this house ten years ago. I figure the pool to be close to 25 years old. In a previous lifetime I lifeguarded and pool upkeep isn't foreign to me, but your depiction of the B9 skimmer was still helpful and I'd never heard of the earlier model you showed. In my pool though, one outlet in the bottom of the skimmer is capped because there's a dedicated main drain line to the filter and I balance the flows with valves there. Anyhow, on the topic of skimmers, my comment is more about pool design and some short-sightedness I wrestle with, that maybe someone else can relate to. In my case we're out in the country at 1000' elevation and the winds here have "flag-poled" many of the surrounding trees so we have a prevailing wind from the WNW. Sadly the pool installer placed the skimmer at the upwind end of the pool, so very often I'm out there with the pole and net scooping out debris at the opposite end of where the skimmer is. Fortunately the skimmer does an effective job catching toads and rodents. I found a device that attaches to a pool inlet (one of which I do have at the leeward end) which uses the flow of the returning water to create a venturi effect sucking debris into a net. I'm not here to promote the product so I won't name it, but it is very effective. And when planning a pool, consider the environment it's being built in.

[@SwimmingPoolAZ-SPS]

ABSOLUTLEY. Great insight. Thanks for sharing!

chuck we just bought house with inground pool and so im learning but my skimmer sounds be same as urs one hole other with plug in it any thing u can suggest or tell me on how to run my pool skimmer would be appreciated as im clueless but trying to learn.

[@ChuckD59]

@@dumpsterdivingqponqueen9499 - So at the pump you likely have two return lines joined to a valve just where it enters the pump, true? One comes from the skimmer and one from the deep end. That's my case, and 99% of the time I keep the valve in the "On" position halfway between either inlet. The only time I move it to more skimmer is when I'm vacuuming (because the vacuum connects to the skimmer) and I want more suction force. For the DIYer I strongly suggest visiting poolsolutions dot com and poolforum dot com. Both were started by a very knowledgable pool pro who got fed up with people being fleeced by pool stores (now known as being "pool stored"). I now maintain my pool with chlorine almost exclusively. This time of year I'll give it a heavy dose of algacide too.

This is the most helpful video I've seen to date especially since you go through several types of skimmers. I am definitely going to try your recommendations. I have a new pool and my suction isn't great. My contractor basically vanished so I'm on my own. I had a pool company come out and they did get it better but not good enough.

[@warriordugan7236]

After working with my AG pool for 20 years, I have learned that EVERY single component on the pool, motor, filter etc was scientifically designed to work efficiently and for a good reason for optimum performance. I even had wondered why my Hayward's flat skimmer cover had a small hole on top, and there is a good reason for that. and if the pool water level is too low, excess suction and air cavitation can happen at the skimmer. If the water level is too high, the skimmer suction and weir door won't operate efficiently.

[@higg13001]

Thanks for the vid! I have a 30k gal pool with an attached spa. In the pump house, there are no less than 9 valves of varying types. It took me a very long time to figure out what they do and to get the 'flow' right. Unfortunately, while getting the pool ready for summer a couple weeks ago, I discovered the spa weir door was broken. I didn't realize how important it was for proper skimmer operation. That explains the excessive debris in the spa at the end of the last summer. Just gotta figure out how to fix it now. Cheers!!

I have had inground pools for many years and was not aware of this information.

I am designing a pond from a old pool now, originally sealed all skimmer compartments to prevent wildlife entering, making a nest or clogging the system (frog turtles etc). The filtration would be done by injecting the water into the root system of an aquatic plant garden, then it waterfalls back into the pool/pond. Now that the pool body has been repaired and the pump if draining from the bottom of the pool i see floating stuff and need to decide how and if i want to remove them. Thanks for the detailed history of skimmers and its components/purpose.

My style of weir door has a rectangular piece of styrofoam that causes it to float up to a vertical position when the pump is not running. If you have not already purchased a new door, look around for the missing piece or make one from styrofoam packing material you might have laying around and fasten it with adhesive. Check out your other skimmer (if you have one) for comparison.

Josh, I found your channel today. I've liked there videos already. Never understood all the functions of a weir door. I don't think my pool which I had built ever had a skimmer diverter valve. Maybe I can find one and install it to protect the pump if the skimmer gets blocked. Saw your video on finding pool leaks and how to determine if there is a leak. Excellent videos! Rob

[@MrZen-gl4pg]

I was still not happy with the weak skimmer pull of the top of my pool water. Still too many bugs, pollen, Etc. I found if I raised the Weir door up with my fingers just 3/8 to 1/2 inch, it "dramatically increased the waterfall effect" and now the skimmer pulls in pool water from 2-3 ft. out. You should lift the door just a bit using your fingers and see for yourself... If you go too much higher, like a full inch, you will see the water level drop in your skimmer housing. You do Not need or want to go up that high. So now I ordered this Rubber Door stop "Wedge" and inserted it under the door to raise it about 3/8" and keep it there. Works great! I did drill a small hole in the flat edge of the Wedge to be able to fix it so it dose not fall into the suction line if it came loose during swimming activity. But it really does stay in place.

Thank you! This is the most informative video on in ground skimmers I've found yet. I recently bought a home with a pool and have a lot to learn. Should the skimmer diverter valve (and basket) float up when the pump is not running, or is mine defective?

[@SwimmingPoolAZ-SPS]

The diverter should have a weight in it that helps hold it in place when the system shuts off. Some baskets like the ones Val-Pak makes are of a heavy duty, dense plastic that aren’t buoyant and don’t need to be weighted other baskets will need some sort of weight (a rock works really well) to hold them down.
