LEAF SKIMMER MANUAL
Installation
Inlet and outlet hose connection kit installation
Follow the metal wall pool manual for cutting the holes for the inlet, outlet and skimmer box housing connections.
1.
Fill the pool with water between 3 to 6 cm below the position of the inlet connector kit hole (see diagram 1).
2.
Screw the inlet connector. Screw the remaining parts of the inlet connector kit into position (see diagram 2). Note: to
stop the water flow, screw the plug (12) into the back of the inlet connector kit from inside of the pool wall (see diagram
3).
Note: when using the filtration system, unscrew and remove the plug (12) to allow water to flow to the filter.
WARNING! Never permanently install the skimmer, inlet and outlet connector kits before the water is within a few centimeters of
them, the water pressure helps the liner to become properly taut and allows small adjustments to be made before final installation.
Leaf skimmer installation
1.
fill the pool with water between 3 to 6 cm below the position of the skimmer hole (see diagram 1)
2.
from outside the pool wall, place the gasket (06) and skimmer housing (04) against the pool wall in line with the hole
(see diagram 4)
3.
from inside the pool wall, place the gasket (06) and faceplate (07) against the pool wall in line with the hole. Push the
screws carefully through the pool liner but do not securely tighten them until all the screws are in place. Ensure that the
housing and inside faceplate are correctly aligned and tighten the screws into position but do not over tighten as you may
damage the screws and/or the pool wall and liner. Do not create multiple holes as this will cause damage to the pool wall
and pool liner. Carefully trim off any protruding parts of the liner inside the connections after installation but do not trim
off too much.
4.
Screw the plug to the inside of the skimmer housing (04) to stop water flowing (see diagram 5). When using the filtration
system, please unscrew and remove the plug to allow water to flow to the filter pump.
5.
Place the basket (03) into the skimmer housing (04) and fix the cover (02). Coat the teflon tape (11) to the threading of
the skimmer connector (09) and then connect it to the skimmer housing (04) (see diagram 4).
6.
Clip the weir (05) to the front of the pool skimmer housing (05) if not already assembled.
7.
Make sure the skimmer is sealed to the pool wall and no water is leaking.
8.
Connect the filtration system to the pool. Follow the sand filter manual for assembly requirements before operating.
9.
The hose attachment (01) can be used to connect pool cleaning kits* and vacuums (see diagram 6)
Finish off by checking and tightening all fittings but do not over tighten to avoid damage to the liner and pool wall.
