The ATI pushes way more water through the body than is optimal when compared with the BK's. They still skim circles around comparitively priced skimmers though.

I never did get the H&S. I've been using a OA becket up to this point.
Joe Just below the white 't' there is a union. This can be loosened and the riser tube lifted higher. this control the water level. I was away this week and it's the break in period so I left it low so my wife wouldn't have to deal with it J

I have heard great things about the ATI but have also heard that water hight in the sump is a huge factor and many people have had performance issues because of this. J

Are you pulling water UP from the sump to get into the skimmer? Will the skimmer drain into the sump when the power is off? It looks to me like the pump wouldn't self prime in that position.
I must be missing something...

Err ... hmmm, actually now I see what he's saying too. If the power is off, won't the water drain out the skimmer via the feed pump line? Or is there some kind of check valve or is there an "up and down" part to the piping on the inside of the skimmer such that the water won't drain to the sump?

Yes the water will drain out of the feed line.
the supply pump is in the sump and is an Eheim Universal 1260. So when I power off the unit the Eheim starts first and when the RD is primed i turn on that pump. J Ruth I found the plumbing HERE
