apparently there's a baffle in the middle tube that's supposed to stop the tornado effect in the skimmer..can anyone supply a picture of it, I don't think there is one in mine. thanks!

It's a small square plastic piece about 1"x1"

so if i cut a square to fit inside the smallest tube, that should be suffice?

yup. It's slightly angled so that it wedges into the bottom of the tube. Without it, the skimmer just doesn't skim so good....

well i cut a piece and wedged it in thereand now my tube floats and spins kinda, lol.

trim it I guess...I don't remember that thing before and it seemed to work ok...hmm.

thanks for your help

I never saw it either, and only figured it out after I knocked it out with a brush while cleaning. Took me forever to figure out why the skimmer didn't skim well anymore.

I will try to track down the tube I have for my spare skimmer and will post a picture.

I have found the piece and taken pictures. Now I just have to resize and post them. I have to go to work right away so I will post the pics tomorrow by 7:30 AM. I can tell you that the piece measures 1 and 5/16 square.
