Help Please! Skimmer replacement in Vinyl Liner pool.

[memtechmom]

Good morning guys, I am new here. I have a skimmer that needs replacing. We have access to the skimmer now. The concrete deck has been busted up and the skimmer is in view. My question is do I have to use the same skimmer. I was told that this is a Waterway Venturi turbo skimmer and it has jetted plumbing. The company installing the vinyl liner wants to charge us $4000 to replace the skimmer. We already have our concrete guy doing the work. Cutting the coping and the concrete work. Can I use another skimmer that is better than this one? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I screenshoted it & posted it for you- it’s too large that’s why you couldn’t post it.

Hey guys,
any suggestions on what skimmer to use on my pool?

Sorry for the late response, American Pool Products are the manufacturer of the skimmers most of the plumbers use in my area. If the ports are somewhat close to this manufacturers the plumber should be able to have it work correctly.
