OPTIONAL OVERFLOW FITTING ORIENTATION
• If installing the optional overflow you will need to drill a hole
for a 2" bulkhead fitting using a 3" hole saw in the back of
the skimmer. Information on the fittings required to install
the optional overflow can be found in the replacement
parts section located on page 8 of this manual. There is
a drill point in the plastic approximately 3 1/2" below the
top edge for reference. Install the bulkhead into the hole
following the orientation in (Ex. 7). A barb fitting or PVC
fitting can then be threaded into the bulkhead. Use silicone
sealant or Teflon thread tape on the threads of the pipe
fittings, in order to help provide a watertight seal. The pipe
for the overflow can be connected later in the project,
during step 7.

ATTACHING THE SKIMMER FACEPLATE
NOTE: Power tools are not recommended for installing the
screws and may strip the nut inserts.
• Position the liner against the skimmer opening, making
sure there is slack below the opening. This will help reduce
tension on the faceplate when placing boulders in front of
the unit. Use your finger or a screwdriver to mark the outer
perimeter of the skimmer opening on the liner (Ex. 8).
• Mark a second box 1.5" inside of it. This insures that you
don't cut too much of the liner, which would result in a
possible leak (Ex. 9).
Ex. 8
• Cut the inner box using a pair of scissors, and insert the
skimmer faceplate into the hole (Ex. 10).
• Make sure skimmer faceplate is in the upright position. The
hinge should be at the bottom (Ex. 11).

• Temporarily install the faceplate and liner to the skimmer
using two screws in the upper corners. Using an awl or
nail poke the first hole in the liner all the way through to
the inside of the filter box. Be
careful not to damage the
threads on the nut inserts
when punching the holes with
the awl. Remove the awl or
nail while holding the faceplate
and liner in place and begin
threading one of the screws
into filter. Repeat this process
for the other screw (Ex. 12).
• Now remove the faceplate
from the skimmer, keeping the
screws installed through the
faceplate and liner (Ex. 13).
• Apply a bead of fish-safe
silicone sealant around the
skimmer opening, over the
nut inserts. Pre-installing the
two screws in the earlier steps
will make it easy to line up the
skimmer faceplate after the
silicone is applied and will keep
the silicone in as thick of a
bead as possible (Ex. 14).
• Replace the skimmer face plate
and the two corner screws and
then proceed with the bottom
two corners. Make sure the
holes in the faceplate that the
weir flap clicks into are on the
bottom (Ex. 15).
• With the 4 corners secured, you may now punch the
remaining holes with your awl and thread in all the screws.
Again, be careful not to damage the threads on the nut
inserts.
• Let dry for at least one hour before introducing water.
• Insert the Debris Net and optional Filter Brush Cartridge
in the skimmer (Ex. 16). See image below for placement.
