I keep a rock in my skimmer basket...

But you should have a lid that locks on the skimmer? The basket should not eject...

So not understanding..

I'm not sure what you are asking us for. The water level is a locally established thing and without a picture we couldn't offer much advice. http://www.doityourself.com/forum/el...-pictures.html

Most returns with a Weir door require the pool water level to be half way up the return opening.

In my pool.... when I turn the pump off..... the water comes up the skimmer line and pushes the basket too. Sometimes it gets knocked out of place. I use chlorine tablets so between them and a rock.... the basket stays in place.
