The liner is trapped between the skimmer body and the face plate, with a gasket on each side of it, and the whole stack is drawn together with screws. That is why the gaskets are sold in pairs. Fitting one and reusing the old one on the other side is the most common reason a resealed skimmer still seeps behind the liner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoing the job once\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the water down below the skimmer, take the face plate off, clean both faces properly and set the new gaskets in dry.
