This guide is Part 7 of a series on installing a basic steel Above Ground Pool. It shows you how to install a Return Port on the side of an Above Ground Pool. We assume that you have completed Part 6 - Installing the Skimmer. These instructions may vary according to your pool model so consult your owner's manual for any variations.

Thank you so much for making this information available. Parts 6 & 7 were invaluable to me as I was extremely nervous to start cutting the beautiful liner I had just installed.Reply

Lisa - Most people do the skimmer than the return port, but it really doesn't matter.Reply

HelloMy return port is lower than the skimmer hole, which one do I do first? My instructions say part instruction only (what good that is to anyone I've no idea)

gma's lost - Generally only two gaskets used in installing a return port as shown in this guide. Sometimes spacers are added to build out the connection. I suggest contacting your pool manufacturer for their explanation.Reply

what color is the pool return port inner gasket? I have 2 white silicone colored gaskets, and two cardboard brown colored ones.So it should be.. white against liner and then brown between port and white gasket??
