My skimmer has about 8 or 10 screws that go through a face plate, the
bellows and into the skimmer wall. Those screws need to be removed and the
face plate and bellows removed to get at the liner. The liner on my skimmer
would then just peel away from the skimmer box. As far as the silicone, try
the paint department at HD or Lowes. Most of their silicone is in caulk
tubes for larger jobs, but they may have a small size tube.

Well, when it is full, it looks a lot better. The shelves are covered
with
water instead of gravel, which is coming out as soon as I can get to it
along with a lot of bigger rocks. Love wrestling with rocks.

But, the darned thing is still leaking. It llost half or 3/4 of an inch
over night, but I cannot find the leak. I still think it's where the
liner
fits onto the skimmer.

Can you tell me how to loosen the liner from the skimmer without tearing
it
and where I can find some silicone glue in a tube to reglue it with?

I am not much of a handyman (or woman), I'm afraid. Sure do appreciate
the
help.

I hope the pond now looks more like you thought it should look like. A
real
pond with lots of water.

Well, the water level was lowered, the rocks were removed (the
necessary
ones, that is), the skimmer has been raised and some rocks replaced.

I am certain that the leak was where the liner is attached to the
skimmer
as
there was no loss of water when the waterline was blow the skimmer.

I hope I have that fixed too. The water lever is now just 3 or 4
inches
from where I want it. Had to quit because I was using well water and
didn't
want to run the well dry.

Well that's it. I am sure you are all so fascinated.
