Answer Yes,halfway up the skimmer to supply water to the pump.You will need to remove metals from water when refilling.A commercial metal remover will take care of this.{follow directions]Lynn Also excessive metals will cause water to turn a blue green color.If you get your water analyzed they will tell you tolerable amounts.Chlorine needs to be depleted when using metal remover as per instructions.Lynn
