So far I have not had any issues with mine. Starts up just fine and is running great once I got it to the right water level recommended. It did take some playing around with the pump control level & had to add a 90* elbow to the output to get it exactly were I wanted.

The power supply issue is a big thing but keeping it cool is the solution to longer life, they run very hot and that's not good for any type of electronics.

The other thing I don't like about this skimmer is the air valve is not adjustable which would be sweet. If your not getting good bubble action in the body it could be that the air tube has a slight kink in it.


Stay clear..... this Bear bites off limbs!!
