I bought this same skimmer as well. I think it is noisy too. I was told to bend air tube and stick it inside the compartment. This has helped somewhat although I find the actual pump inside is loud. What are thoughts about it? I find it is doing a good job but the noise just bothers me.

Default Oops

Oops, note to self, never, ever clean the pump on this skimmer again. Not only was it a painful experience (very poor design) this happened when I turned it back on





The gallon jug is holding down the lid...the bubble kept pushing it off the skimmer
