How easy will it be to remove the skimmer for cleaining? It looks like a pretty tight fit.

moereefer - i cannot take any credit, i was lucky to have had mark from hidden reef do all the plumbing, intially i wanted to the plumbing but after seeing his setup and how tidy it was i asked if he would do it. mine would have never turned out like that
dave c - skimmer actually comes out quite easily, i have to removed the cup, recirc pump and then the hole assembly pops right out.

Looking good Colin. I need to get me one of those water timers.

That's exactly how I have my RO unit hooked up, just need the timer.

i'm not super thrilled with this particularly timer. i didnt research it good enough because it is designed especially for outdoor sprinklers so max time it will run is 3 hrs at a time and 3 times a day i would have liked one that you could set for 10 - 12 hours a day steady

Your gonna need labels on those valves.

i agree joe, i know what they do but i'm thinking for the wife i should label them in case something happens when i am at work i can tell her what valve to closed.
