How do you get at it from below?
I can get at the intake side - soaked it in vinegar overnight and ran a pipecleaner from this end.
I can't get at the outlet side, its blocked by a baffle that goes from the front to the back of the housing.

Does it spray? Are you cleaning it because it needs or you want to? in over a year of my Urchin, I never had to clean mine.

Cleaning it 'cause I just got it, used, off Ebay & have no clue about its history.
I'm assuming the worst and making sure its running at max efficiency.
I got a new MaxiJet 1200 and put that on at the same time.

BTW, I got it in running last night and it started out very white foam and now its slowly getting darker - colour of really weak tea, right now.

Had to mod a brace for the overflow box I fabbed because it kept floating up and cavitating the pump, but other than that its fizzing on.

As soon as I get a few minutes, I'll post pics of the install, overflow box build & the brace.

Talked to Steve at AquaC today and he figures I can Reeeeaaalllly carefully drill & tap the pipe to put in the Access Screw.
He's sending me the screw for that, Screws for the level adjust foot and Collection cup, plus a couple of o-rings and a Remora sticker to replace the worn out one on the back of the skimmer!
WooHoo, just like Christmas
