If you have the sample why not post a picture of it instead of a copy/paste from the website.

The buy direct route was put in place by Skimz while they were still finalizing contracts with their global partners, now they are getting them in place there will no longer be a need for the direct route and this will be removed, otherwise whats the point of having a global distribution/dealer network :) .

pm us for details in regards to dealers and orders.

Good question ;) Because its with a dealer and I beleive now sold, we received one of each model plus a prototype for us to send to dealers for evaluation prior to taking on the line.

The new version is $299.00

We do also have the old style SM121 here as well same as yours, this was sent to us as a prototype model.

But here is its sister I just assembled at home, this is the SM161. I have also posted below the manual showing what version model numbers come in this series, including the New SM121

If anyone would like to review this exact unit seen above please pm me.

I've contacted Aquamarin to find out why they sent me the older model. Just waiting on a reply to my email. As I said before these guys have been awesome. When I received my skimmer with a crack in the base they had a new body/base/bubble plate at my door in a week free of charge. Any time I have a question they reply almost instantly. I've waited longer for things to ship from the next province than I have from these guys.

So to trial the SM251 how much are they is there a prototype for them Mike,.

double post

Well Skimz gave us wrong info on Friday and have the wrong pictures on the websites as well :(

What medhatreefguy got turns out to actually be the production model :) Here is the email from Skimz

What the customer receive and what you had and will receive will be the same.
What you saw on the blog was only a prototype. We are unable to fit the pump into the 120cm body so the design for sm121 is what you received. Our website team will be making clarification on our blog soon.
Thank you and Regards,

This is totally opposite to what they told us on Friday but hey ho :(

Sorry for the confusion :redface: , however least now Skimz can actually update their marketing and info they give their distributors will finally be accurate :(

On the plus side, even if it did turn out that a wrong version had been sent, as the distributors we would of personally switched it for you, it would be only fair to do so. But thankfully all seems to be as it should be except for their marketing.

However the SM161 onwards will be as per my posted photo this is because the body is wide enough to fit the pump inside, unlike the SM121.

Thanks for the update on this, Aqua-Digital. I was sent this link http://www.skimz.sg/blog/?p=1019.

No problem. I had a long conversation with them over this and pleased to see they acted quickly in updating the info on their blog. We have now also updated this info with the dealers.

Doug is going to be reviewing this model soon so will be interesting to see a comparative view.
