    Yeah, it will be a week b4 I can post pics . . .

    That's why I didn't mention that option. (Next week Cameron will be through all his registrations AND the middle school Wyldlife Camp he's been working on, so I'll have help.)

    No problem at all. I hope Imgur is acceptable. What I plan on doing is getting some H20 Glue or Epoxy and fix the skimmer as best I can.

    The skimmer is fixable; the eyeball, not so much.

    Measure the inner and outer circle, and see which threads it has (2" FIP or 1.5" FIP), then shop around some online pool parts houses. Be ready to email them the pics.

    I was going to hit the local pool stores after work. They have a warehouse of replacement parts. Hopefully I can pick something up.

    Even with the cracked jet rings can I start to fill the pool? Are those rings just holding the liner in place?

    I think I'd try to get things fixed, first.

    But suit yourself.

    Well I fixed the jets and am currently letting the epoxy set on the skimmer. Tomorrow morning I'll give it a quick leak sealant application then finish filling it up. I'll post a completed pool opening likely this weekend
