Replacing skimmer and stuff.

[jenpen400]

I guess I'm just going two have to experiment with the leaf trap etc. Can anyone recomend a valve for shut off on the suction side. Gate valve? Ball valve?

Thanks again

Hey Jennifer,

I bought an 1 1/2" ball valve from Lowe's and installed it before the pump. As far as a leaf trap, I'm experimenting on a few things to trap the leaves before they get to the skimmer... I did'nt have the luxurary of no trees in my back yard, so leaves and pine needles are becomeing a problem... I have seen where people mount a leaf skimmer net in the pool so the leaves get trapped before they enter the skimmer... Good luck
