Hi, I have currently bought a house with a swimming pool, I have noticed that there is no weir installed in the swimming pool at all there is only a inflow pipe.
Can you please assist me in a workaround if the weir is not essential or if essential how would I go about installing one, I would prefer to not install a new one as that would mean that I will need to break part of my pool.
Please help.
Please help No Weir installed
Missing weir
Sounds like you are missing your skimmer. The weir is a door that fits inside the skimmer to control water flow. If you are missing your surface skimmer you may be able to install a wall suction type skimmer provided you have a suction fitting in the wall of the pool. Does your pool have a drain suction at the bottom of the deep end ? Please post more info on any inlets or outlets you have in the pool. Is your pool above ground,in ground ,concrete,fiberglass ?

Please help No Weir installed
If you are completely missing your skimmer and only have a suction inlet,then you might like to try something like a dragonfly,which is a floating skimmer and could be just plugged into the wall.
they are Australian ,but i believe someone in florida is distributing them.

You can purchase replacement weirs at most pool supply stores. They are very easy to install, you just need to measure how wide it is. Its probably about 8 inches wide and will install in less than 5 minutes. The cost is under $20 each.
