I believe I've run this thing long enough to come to a final conclusion!
The Good:
It's never once had a problem starting.
It runs quiet!!!
The footprint is small for the performance.
It performs extremely well.
Improvements:
Dials are a little loose, after adding a few O-rings this is no longer an issue. Easy fix.
DIY Modification:
I added a float valve to the lid, this stops the pumps when the skimmer cup is full (Using DIY auto top-off circuitry). This by no means a requirement, but saved several overflows (due to laziness).
I'll leave you all with a couple of final photographs...
