Assemble the Skimmer

this is our skimmer assembly so what this is gonna do it's going to make a watertight seal between the liner and the skimmer box itself it's going to allow water to go from the pond into our pump so we have a this type of an assembly this is an adjustable faceplate so in case we're off a little bit on our transit measurement it gives us a little bit of flexibility we could raise or lower this by three inches so it could increase water level or decrease it accordingly to make sure that we fine-tune it exactly this can be a little bit confusing so just make sure that you line the the two on the bottom one on the top okay those machine screws act as guides so let's just slide through the top two corners like so hands-free now and hands kind of but these the ends of them here they're machined to be almost what all's right whole bunches right so the liner will actually penetrate these will penetrate through the liner so I'm gonna put a bead of silicone around the perimeter right here covering up all those holes and that's the vet plate goes over the liner so overlying it goes up okay got it okay so the silicone doors the champ raining put it down and bust your teeth up eyes up eyes up ears open keep this liner nice and hot and smooth right it's always nice if you can give yourself a little bit of slack you know like a little 4 4 inch fold of liner down below the skimmer so that if you ever have to possibly reseal this thing or if maybe it shifts or something with the Heavin thaw and some of the northern climates with the freeze/thaw cycle it's a little bit easier post-installation to fix so I'm gonna make sure that stays up nice and high there we go yep now I'm gonna take the face plate okay remember one on the top two on the bottom okay okay slide it up there I pull this out makes it again make sure that liner is nice and taut through there you don't have any wrinkles can make things make your life difficult right okay so now what I'll do so I've got that got the liner and you pressed up in there I've got my all so you just punctured the liner down at the bottom okay that's got to be a nerve-wracking part of it oh look you know it can be any time you make a puncture cool on the liner but these are repairable too so they are but you don't want to you don't want to write on that promise yeah you don't want to do it on purpose right just come over here now this is where that suck you die if you don't have long arms can come into play yeah you don't want to go to…
