Question about older skimmer & weir
7 years ago
Hello everyone! I just purchased a home with an older pool (1970s). The skimmer is just a square concrete hole in the ground. I’ve never seen a skimmer look like this. It doesn’t have any plastic, or a weir/flap. It doesn’t even have a basket. Is this normal for older pools? Am I missing something. If so, what am I missing. Water level is low in pics for repairs
