I bought the 8939G widemouth skimmer on 5-5-2014 and the eyeball that came with it leaks like it is too big so what do I do

Sorry, I also didn't replace the eyeball on mine. I have had the pool for 12 years and I think the original skimmer came with 2 different eyeball setups.

Sorry but I did not replace the eyeball on mine, I would talk to someone at a local pool supply place and see if they have an eazy fix...

I looked at the 2900 pump specs. It looks like the pump will fit. (skimmer is 24"x18", pump is 10.5"x11"). About half of the skimmer is taken up by the filter and brushes. My only concern would be it looks like the 2900 pump outlet comes out the side (mine comes out the top). Maybe you could put an elbow to direct the outlet upwards. The skimmer is rated to 16,000 LPH and the pump is only 11,000 LPH so no problem there. There are two outlet holes (one on each side) to run the hose / wires thru. The are near the top of the skimmer in the pump chamber. Hope this helps.

mine never stayed put it always floated inside the skimmer.. went to a sand filter and eliminated the skimmer completely

As with you the one I got was too small. so I just left the pump that came with pool attached to skimmer and just ran hose from old pump to the basket filter going into the motor on the sand filter and it worked just fine. Until I can find a bigger adapter it works. FYI you do not need to plug in the pump attached to skimmer. Just the motor with the sand filter. Hope this helps

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products... I suggest checking the following and if that fails call our help line at 1-800-845-4856. Check if the intake or propeller is jammed with debris, if the filter bag is over full. There may also be a small spring issue on the valve flap. If so again please feel free to call our 800 line.

I have a slow leak in chamber #4 on a 280 sevylor. Can't seem to find it. Boat will last for about 4 hrs.. Tried submerging it in the lake but no bubbles. Any suggestions?

I had one that did the same thing that I finally had to throw away and buy a new one. Thankfully they don't cost to much. Anyway's just be sure the cap is screwed on tight and maybe pour out some of the nectar so there's not so much overflow. If it keeps leaking then it's just the cause of a bad feeder and you will have to buy a new one. I've had about 5 of them and I only had one that leaked bad. Goodluck!

That will depend on a couple of things. The hose didn't fit ours so we had to use the attachment that comes with the unit and attach it through the skimmer. This attachment also has a valve that controls the suction to adjust the unit for proper functioning. You will want to use the attachment for regulating suction. Over all I really like unit and find it easy to use.

Not sure, do you have a soft pool, if so I believe the skimmer is smaller. The ones at walmart or kmart I now are smaller, and this wouldn't fit, too big.

FTM is correct. You should replace the rubber seal. A box end wrench will slide over the spout to the nut.

I have the elongated model. I think you should call the professional installer. He or she needs to come tighten something before it leaks.

I had the leaking problem described here. Took the handle off and took the cartridge out. Looked fine - I noticed the cartridge nut was loose when I unscrewed it so I hand tightened it and it stopped leaking for a day. I took off the handle again and tightened the Cartridge nut with a wrench until snug (the nut is plastic and I did not know how tight it should be. Definitely don't over-tighten). The leak is gone but there is nothing in the documentation on how much to tighten.

I'm having the same problem and haven't figured it out yet. I've had this skimmer for over a month now and so far, it's useless. If you get a good answer, please let me know.

Try this YouTube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdb2Zc-maMw ) which requires you to use a hole saw and open up the bottom of the skimmer. I used a Hayward inlet fitting with adapter and attached the hose to that with a hose clamp. Also, the pumps fittings are tapered and I opened them up to 1 1/2 inches by cutting at the next graduation, this allowed for better water flow. My base is pretty level so I am also able to use a Pentair Lil'Shark to clean the pool bottom. Hope this helped.

I found that you needed two pumps - one the air stone and one for the down current. Tried to do with just one and couldn't get enough flow. Went to Wal-Mart and got two Whisper 10-30 gallon pumps. Skimmer now works pretty good but a little finicky to adjust.

If you already have a widemouth opening, just order this. It comes with the gasket for the widemouth part, as well as the part that holds the basket. You will need to take if all off to replace it anyways. If you had a problem with that part cracking, you'll most likely want to replace it all, so that the widemouth part doesn't crack when you are removing the screws.
