Installation Notes
- Confirm your skimmer model (SP1085/SP1077) and match color and face plate style before ordering.
- For vinyl liner applications, replace gaskets as needed and tighten screws evenly in a crisscross pattern.
- Do not overtighten screws into plastic—snug and even is best to avoid cracking or stripping.
- If the skimmer body is cracked or the screw inserts are stripped, the skimmer body/kit may require repair or replacement.

Maintenance Tips

- Inspect face plates and screws seasonally for cracking, loosening, or corrosion.
- Replace gaskets whenever the face plate is removed to help prevent seepage behind the wall/liner.
