Owner’s Manual
MODELS: SP1091LX and SP1091WM
Your new Hayward Thru-Wall Skimmer makes pool maintenance easier and more convenient. Leaves, insects and
floating debris are pulled from the pool into the skimmer basket. Clean the basket regularly to keep your pool
sparkling clean and sanitary.
POOL PREPARATION
Fill the pool with approximately two (2) feet of water so the liner is under weight and stretched to the proper position prior to installing the
skimmer. Note: The liner cannot be shifted after the skimmer and return holes have been cut.
SKIMMER ASSEMBY
1. If the SP1091E, Wide mouth extension, is not installed on the body, it must be assembled to the body prior to attempting to install
the skimmer in the pool.
2. To install the wide mouth extension, insert four (4) pan head screws 1” long through the lip of the extension and four (4) through
the throat of the skimmer. Place the gasket between the extension and the skimmer body. Firmly tighten the screws.
SKIMMER INSTALLATION
1. From the outside of the pool install the face-plate double gasket at skimmer cutout in the wall. Reach over the top rail of the pool
and carefully press the face-plate and liner against the gasket and skimmer cutout in the wall. Punch out the two top corner holes
using a blunt object. Insert two self-threading flat head screws (provided) into the top corner holes of the face-plate.
2. Carefully push the screws through the holes that have been pierced in the liner and through the double gasket. From the outside
of the pool, align the skimmer body with these screws. Lightly tighten the two screws.
3. Using a blunt object, pierce the remaining holes in the liner. Insert and lightly tighten the remaining flat head screws through the
face-plate, liner, gasket and into the corresponding holes on the skimmer. Firmly tighten all screws evenly, alternately left and
right, top and bottom.
4. Using the skimmer face plate as a guide, use a razor knife to trim only the liner, being careful not to the gasket, in the large
skimmer opening.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Failure to follow instructions can cause
severe injury and/or death.
This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your equipment or in this manual, look for one of the

WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes,
regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property
damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly
located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To reduce
the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock
hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for
electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a
professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local
electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the
pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal
piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be
restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment
without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this
electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative
before using.
CAUTION – HAYWARD® pumps are intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being
readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
WARNING – Risk of Hyperthermia. To avoid hyperthermia the following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” are recommended by
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F [40°C]. A temperature of 100°F [38°C] is
considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Prolonged immersion in
hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness, which
could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100°F [38°C] can cause fetal damage during the
first three months of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child). Pregnant women
should adhere to the 100°F [38°C] maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate ther-
mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anti-
coagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
6. If the pool/spa is used for therapy, it should be done with the advice of a physician. Always stir pool/ spa
water before entering the pool/spa to mix in any hot surface layer of water that might exceed healthful
temperature limits and cause injury. Do not tamper with controls, because scalding can result if safety controls
are not in proper working order.
7. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physicians advice before using spas or hot tubs.
8. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above
normal body temperature of 98.6°F [37°C]. The symptoms of Hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy,
dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of Hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending danger.
2. Failure to perceive heat.
3. Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
4. Physical inability to exit the spa.
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.

RETURN FITTING INSTALLATION (From the Pump to the Pool)
1. The return fitting furnished with these skimmers is a SP1023. The hole required through the pool wall to install this
fitting is 2.38±.03 inches. DO NOT CUT THE LINER.
2. Place one rubber gasket over the threads of the return fitting adapter and push the threaded end against the liner
and through the return cutout in the wall.
3. Applying outward pressure to the return fitting cut and “X” in the center of the exposed liner from outside the pool.
The return fitting will now be fully pressed against the liner and the wall on the inside of the pool. Using a razor
knife, trim the excess liner material from around the fitting threads on the outside of the pool.
4. Place the second rubber gasket and then the cork gasket over the threads of the return fitting now exposed outside
of the pool. Screw on the lock nut and tighten.
5. Screw on the adjustable directional ball fitting into the face of the return fitting from the outside of the pool.
Position ball fitting opening away from skimmer opening. Do not over-tighten.
Note: On-going leaks from the skimmer or wall fittings may cause pool wall damage
that eventually may result in pool wall failure.
RECOMMENDED WINTERIZING PROCEDURE
Drain pool level approximately six inches (6”) below skimmer opening. Remove
Hydrostream Eyeball fitting and securely plug wall fitting (1 ½” threaded plugs are
available from the dealer). Disconnect filter hoses from the skimmer and the wall fitting.
Be sure that the skimmer is kept free of water accumulation. Warranty does not include
damage caused by the formation of ice in the skimmer.
TO CLEAN SKIMMER BASKET
Remove top cover; or fold weir forward and squeeze tabs toward center to remove
weir. Remove and clean basket.
Deluxe Skim-Vac Accessory
SKIM-VAC attaches to vac hose and is inserted in skimmer over basket, allowing
you to conveniently vacuum through the skimmer basket.
TO-VACUUM WITH SKIM-VAC
1. Remove weir from front of skimmer.
2. Attach vacuum hose to vac head and handle, and fill vacuum hose with water
(place over pool inlet). Place SKIM-VAC over skimmer basket. Going through the
skimmer opening in the pool wall, attach the vacuum hose to the SKIM-VAC hose
adapter.
3. Hold SKIM-VAC in place until any air hose is evacuated by pump. Once air is
removed, the pump suction will hold the SKIM-VAC firmly in place.
Take care not to damage or scuff the Skim-Vac’s specially designed seal surface.
