Swabbie on the way

Having the blade device inside the skimmer neck, it seems that it would break up the column of foam bubbles.

They seem really reasonable priced and if they work I would like to get one.

I had the same concerns. To date, the reviews I've seen suggest that whatever minor performance loss occurs by having the apparatus in the neck is offset by having a squeaky clean neck. But I'll find out first hand and post my findings.
