Drain the pool until the water level reaches two inches below the skimmer faceplate , remove the face plate using a screwdriver , remove the faceplate and skimmer , then replace the gasket and attach the skimmer and then the faceplate
Does it go from the top or bottom
Some compound words that start with 'face' are face plate, face mask, face lift, facecloth, and face off.
Most or all pool skimmers do not have gaskets. However, above ground pools have gaskets that go between the face plate and the liner on one side. On the other side the gasket goes between the back plate and the liner. Can someone confirm that?
If you mean a weir, the answer is no. The weir is meant to keep the bugs, leaves, etc from going back out onto the surface of the pool especially when the system shuts down. By skimmer plate, just what do you mean by the term? Ken
Take the gauge face plate off, pull the gauge out.
Unless you don't want the plate to lift again you would be better off getting the right o ring for it an then just putting a brick on top of it to stop it from moving when the pump stops.
Well sometimes the radio is hooked up to the ignition itself. It is just the ignition wire, if it has a disconnecting face plate then you can turn it off by taking the face plate off. Or if you would like, you can pull the radio out and disconnect the wire from the ignition and it will not still be on when you cut the truck off.
I believe there is a switch behind the gage face plate that will turn it off. My 95 is this way.
Actually, they aren't a bad thing to remove all together. Skimmer flaps are a notorious place for algae, especially black or mustard, and bacteria to hide and grow, which makes reoccurance terribly probable. Removing them all together will not harm the performance of your pool. I beg to differ with the answer above - The skimmer works because the water jets create a flow which pushes the water past the skimmer. The skimmer is pulling water down which causes debris on the top of the water to get caught in the basket. The skimmer flap(s) limits the amount of water being sucked in by the skimmer causing more suction and making the skimmer more efficient. It is important for the skimmer doors, or "weirs" as they are called, to be in place for your skimmer to work properly. Try it for yourself. With the skimmer running, place your hand, a brick or some other obstruction where the skimmer door should be. Restrict the water flow a bit in some way. You will see a much larger volume of water being sucked into the skimmer than with no door at all. If you already have a flap or wier in place, do the reverse. With the skimmer running, hold the door completely open and see hose the flow virtually ceases. Replacement weirs or flaps can easily be found at your pool store. Just take your old one with you or measure the opening where it should sit. Little pegs on the sides of the replacements are spring loaded to keep it properly situated so it is very important that the new weir be exactly where you want it before pulling the pins securing the pegs. I hope this has helped!
Turning the pool pump off will help
First off, you'll need a vacuum hose. I usually put the small end over the jet and fill the hose with water. After the hose is full put the large end in the skimmer. Place your vacuum head in the pool, attach the hose to it, now you're ready to vacuum.
