Why fix it? It will still work. Sounds like someone is trying to con you.
WTF. Just moved in to a house with a pool. Previous owner said low maintenance. Not as expensive to own a pool as everyone says.
Now, I got a ing crooked skimmer within weeks of moving in. Haven't even used the pool yet.
How do you ing fix a crooked skimmer? I have no mechanical abilities.

Crooked? Do you have any pics?
Unless you want to spend a couple of grand a year paying someone else i suggest you learn to take care of yours yourself. I only spend about $100 a year on chemicals for mine at the ranch.
He is getting scammed.
Just tilt it to the side and put fresh water in dude. (mulatto child not included)
tell the help to fix it. damn
I'm sorry, what was the problem again? Just rent that one out and buy a bigger and better home. I fail to see the problem in this.
The first thing I would do is fire my assistant for not checking every detail of the purchase. The next thing I would do is have my attorney sue in order to take EVERYTHING from the seller. If I am going to spen a million dollars on a home then I don't want a crooked anything.
Crooked skimmer? Who told you it was crooked, a pool maintenance service? I've had crooked, straight, even broken and they always work.
In first withI bet you have

$2,000 a ing year???? Where does that cost come from? I was thinking it was mostly going to be cosmictic. What is the functional problem? I'm wondering if I can just level it with some stuff. Do you really have a pool? I was just assuming but if you've got some ideas, let's here em.
you really think Wild Cobra is a richer?
I pretty much put mine in myself. Dug the hole, bought all the equipment myself, did the plumbing and electrical myself, just subbed out the concrete, plaster, tile, and stonework. I have an oversized pump and DE filter and put an automatic chlorinator on it so all i have to do is load it with chlorine tabs and let it go. Now that I have pump timing and chlorinator settings figured out the pool is pretty much on autopilot...add a little water occasionally, backwash occasionally, add DE when I backwash and put chlorine tabs in about every six weeks.
As for your skimmer not being level...it's no big deal. It will work tilted at a 45 degree angle as long as the water level is still between the top and bottom of the opening. The whole point of the skimmer is to remove floating stuff from the pool. The suction side of the pump is tied into the skimmer box. The pump outlet is tied into the jets around the pool (in the northern hemisphere they should all be pointing counterclockwise) this causes the water to circulate and move floating to the skimmer where it is sucked down into the basket that you are supposed to clean occasionally. The skimmer box not being level is no big deal. It will still work fine.
And yeah...I don't use a pool service but it's bound to cost more than a grand a year to pay someone else to take care of the pool.
I have above average income, but not enough to justify buying a place with a pool.
See, that's what happens when the posers get in over their head...
Meh...mines a little pool and building it myself it only cost about 12K.
LOL Armando did good. You on the other hand disappeared. I even called your brother looking for you.
dude, you have a PM. I paid you for everything you did up to the time you disappeared.
Meh...it works fine. BTW, I was really worried about you. I mean...You were in a bind and I paid you for everything you had done to that point and knew you were having personal problems. When you disappeared and weren't answering your phone I tracked your brother down from the name on the truck you were driving (you had borrowed his truck?) and he told me you were OK so I just figured you had found better things to do. No hard feelings on my end and hope you are OK with it too. I paid you exactly what you quoted me in cash when you asked for it. I would have paid you the extra day if you had come back too but managed to get it done anyway.
Looks nice man. hope your life is better.
Built this one Recently.
Not yet. Still putting stuff together to do it. Maybe this year. My life has gotten pretty complicated too.
BTW, remember our conversation about bolting down pumps and you said you never did it and I said I always did it? After repairing the cracked pump manifold the second time (with sch 80 fittings) I ended up drilling and anchoring the pump down and problem solved. might want to do that in the future.
Just had his 93rd birthday. Still driving God help us all.
