There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Edit: After letting it run a day, it decided to start filling the cup up, and over, flooded a bit. I added a float switch to kill power when the cup is full. Still with all these mods it’s cheaper than most other skimmers this size.
Stuff you’ll want to add:
Valve between the pump and the skimmer.
Float switch in the collection cup, connected to some sort of relay that you plug the skimmer in to. I found a wiring diagram for when I did similar for my sump return pump.
Most 2 wire float switches I’ve found can have the floater be normally open or normally closed just by pulling the floater off the switch and flipping it over.
Update: 1-5-20
Still going strong! Still very quiet and no signs of slowing down. Make sure you have the correct water level or you'll have trouble with over flowing.
