water level in pool

[CoffeeBean]

I tried the Aquadoor last year. I had a couple of problems with it. I couldn't get it to seal as long as the water was up around the skimmer opening. Admittedly, I was trying to do it hanging upside down from my AG pool deck but still...

I finally had to drop the water below the vacuum port and use a rubber mallet to get the AquaDoor on the AquaDoor frame. Once done it just seemed to me to be redundant. If the water's lower than the skimmer port, why bother with the door? But I left it.

This spring I had an awful time prying it off of the frame. I was afraid maybe I'd rip the frame out of the pool wall. Didn't but a nervous few minutes.

Our AquaDoor leaks. So it's pretty much untrustworthy. Since we use Gizmo's and lots of anti-freeze, it's not a problem. Except I'd never trust it by itself.

Translation : it's useless to us.
