you want one of my fancy blue muffler lines?

Steve

Hell no. I actually tried it (ya, I have one) and it didn't make any difference at all. I need some vinyl tubing and a fliter as a muffler.

Brad, just try some tubing. I run becketts with JG valves and they hiss but if I stick some 1/4" line in them they quiet down for some reason.

Jack, I don't use a JG valve. And when I did, the 1/4" line was too restrictive. My skimmer needs more air than that line allows through.

Hmmm. What I think you need to do is get an air compressor, and then that problem should be nicely solved. The challenge then becomes to quiet down the compressor... Hmm, how about a white noise generator or similar device that could put out an inverse of the sound wave into the living room? Yeah, yeah, that could work! Let me know how it turns out.

maybe now that you can't handle as much air you could use a JG 1/4" valve.

Steve

Maybe, but I think I gave away my JG valve.

i have a few.

Steve

OK, I try one. Remember though that my new skimmer will need a lot more air, so not sure it will work for it. On this one, it should be fine.

Man you know you are bored, when you start bringing up the past threads But a good thread.. As I sit here on my bed after getting out my staples on my back I started to think about the talk that Me and Doug had today in reference to skimmers.

ANd I have a blueline 1100 rated for 1105 GPH not the same as the Mak 4 running at 1195 GPH. time to do the swap and may be sticking another beckett on the skimmer of mine will this work on one singel pump..


mike good thread by the way..
