I have the wide mouth adapter for the b4u filter skimmer.
I did as the instructions said I have a gasket between the adapter and skimmer.
I installed the 4 screws as the instruction manual states to do so.
After filling my pool it has come to my attention that it’s leaking really badly at the corners / bottom of where the adapter and skimmer meet.
I also have very minor leaks at where the wide mouth plate exterior side of the pool meets the wall. I have cranked down on the screws.
What can I do to correct all this?
