theupsmancan Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Alright guys, I am new to the board, because I have a major problem. We had a big storm up here (SC), and it blew a lot of leaves into the skimmer. I guess the combination of the weight of the leaves and the suction of the pool pump sucked the skimmer basket down so hard it broke the rim the basket sits on. I am hoping you guys can help me! I need to know if this is an inset piece that is replaceable or if my skimmer is screwed! It looks to be inset to me, but I do not know how to replace it! Thank you in advance, John T. Easley, South Carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easley, South Carolina use a 2 part expoxy (pool) the come in blk and white or you can melt some pvc w/thinner and create a glue its messy but it works! the 2 part will have to be water free when repairing it. then set 48 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
