Needlewheel to Meshwheel skimmer mod

[fishface]

well, after several days of trying this mod i have to say that overall i went back to gutterguard due to unreliable and very noisy starts. perhaps i did something wrong with the enkamat, but after going to gutterguard i seem to be getting pretty much the same results as what the impeller was before the mod. but like i mentioned, quieter and much more reliable restarts... oh well, can't say i never tried .

update: i wanted to try the enkemat again so i gave it a shot today and i have to say, i gotta eat my words. i remounted this stuff and trimmed the edges more and i AM getting larger amounts of and smaller bubble production. i also noted that taking the valve off of the venturi line increased bubble by perhaps 10-15% as well. thanks again Tony, glad i revisited this mod!

I've pretty much run out of the stuff, I have a few little scraps of it left and that's about it. Otherwise I'd say I'd send you guys some, sorry ..

Here are some suggestions though, hope this helps!
If you want about 2 yards so you can set up other people with some, it's about $30:

Make sure to contact them though to ask for USPS instead of the default UPS otherwise you'll get nailed with a brokerage fee.

Other options:

$5 for a 12x12 piece, minus the shipping of course, but at least you could buy something else at the same time..

And sometimes it shows up on ebay:
