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. (See Ex. 15)
• 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.
(See Ex. 16)
• Cut the inner box using a
pair of scissors, and insert
the skimmer faceplate into
the hole.
(See Ex. 17)
• Make sure Skimmer
faceplate is in the upright
position. The hinge should
be at the bottom.
(See Ex. 18)
• 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.
(See Ex. 19)
• Now remove the faceplate from
the skimmer, keeping the screws
installed through the faceplate and
liner. (See Ex. 20)
• 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. (See Ex. 21)
• 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.
