Skimmers that are broken, worn out, or outdated should be replaced promptly to prevent unnecessary water loss and maintain proper pool circulation. A damaged skimmer can allow water to leak behind the pool wall, reduce filtration efficiency, and let debris bypass the filtration system—leading to increased chemical use, pump strain, and potential structural damage.
What we do
Inspect: Evaluate the skimmer faceplate, weir, throat, lid, and the area behind the skimmer for cracks, corrosion, or gaps.
Diagnose: Determine whether the issue is a replaceable part (weir, lid, basket) or requires full skimmer replacement.
Test: After installation, perform a leak test and check flow to confirm the new skimmer is functioning correctly.
Benefits of replacing an old skimmer
Prevents water loss and the need for frequent refills
Improves filtration and surface skimming performance
Reduces strain on pumps and equipment
Protects pool structure from hidden leaks and freeze damage in colder climates
Recommended timing
Replace skimmers showing visible cracks, warped or missing weirs, persistent leaks, or severe corrosion immediately.
