SP1091 series Dyna-Skim Skimmer
Owner's guide
- Pool preparation:
Fill the pool with approximately 60 cm of water so the liner is under weight and stretched to proper position prior to installing the skimmer.
Note : liner cannot be shifted after the skimmer and return holes have been cut.
- Skimmer installation:
From the outside of the pool install the Face Plate double gasket at skimmer cutout in the wall. Reach over the top rail of
the pool and carefully press the faceplate & liner against the gasket and skimmer cutout in the wall. Punch out the two
top corner holes using a blunt object. Insert two self-threading screws (provided) into the top corner holes of the face
plate. Carefully push the screws through the holes which have been pierced in the liner and through the double gasket.
From the outside of the pool, align the skimmer body with these screws. Lightly tighten the two screws.
Using a blunt object, pierce the remaining holes in the liner. Insert and lightly tighten the remaining screws through the
face plate, liner, gasket and into the corresponding holes on the skimmer. Firmly tighten all screws evenly, alternately left
and right, top and bottom.
Using the skimmer face plate as a guide, use a razor knife to trim only the liner, being careful not to cut the gasket, in the
large skimmer opening.
- Return fitting installation :
Place one rubber gasket over the threads of the return fitting adapter and push threaded end against the liner and through
the return cutout in the wall. At this point the liner will protrude through the wall cutout.
Applying outward pressure to the return fitting cut an 'x' in the center of the exposed liner from outside the pool. The return
fitting will now be fully pressed against the liner and the wall on the inside of the pool. Using a razor knife trim the excess
liner material from around the fitting threads on the outside of the pool.
Place the second rubber gasket and then the cork gasket over the threads of the return fitting now exposed outside of
the pool. Screw on the locknut and tighten.
Screw on adjustable directional ball fitting into the face of the return fitting from inside the pool. Position ball fitting ope-
ning away from skimmer opening. Do not overtighten.
Note : On-going leaks from skimmer or wall fittings may cause pool wall damage which eventually my result in pool wall failure.
- Recommended winterizing procedure :
Drain pool level approximately 15 cm below skimmer opening. Remove Hydrostream Eyeball fitting and securely plug wall fit-
ting (1'/2" threaded plugs are available from he dealer). Disconnect filter hoses from skimmer and wall fitting. Be sure that skim-
mer is kept free from water accumulation. Warranty does not include damage used by formation of ice in skimmer.
- To vacuum with Skim-Vac :
Remove weir from front of skimmer. Attach vacuum hose to vac head and handle, and fill vacuum hose with water (place
over pool inlet). Place SKIM-VAC over skimmer basket. Going through he skimmer opening in the pool wall attach the vac
hose to the SKIM-VAC hose adapter. Hold SKIM-VAC in place until any air in hose is evacuated by pump. Once .air is
removed, the pump suction will hold the SKIM-VAC firmly in place.
