Hello Marlene - The hole for the skimmer is already pre-cut. You do not have to cut a hole. The steps in the guide and the video explain how to mount the skimmer.Reply

Hello Marlene - above ground pools come with pre-cut holes for the return and for skimmer placements. There is no cutting required. We cover this skimmer installation in the video, with step by step instruction. Give it a look.Reply

The gasket goes between the wall and liner.Reply

Shouldn't the gasket be between the faceplate and the liner?Reply

Jets and Returns - You should have a set of valves around your pool equipment that you would use to circulate water in your Spa and Pool. The Spa jets are usually labeled Spa or Jets and the pool jets are labeled Returns. If they are not labeled, you may have to open the valves one at a time to see what happens. Just make sure that at least one line to the pump is open and one line from the pump is open.Reply
