Questions for the beckett users

[Jack]

Ooops sorry Em. I forgot.

"C", ideally once a week. If I leave it 2 weeks, it gets really ugly.

Notice the title. "Beckett users"

So obviously the general consensus seems to be that everyone cleans the body of the skimmer. Ahhh more work! I love it

Probably easier to split your bottom riser in half with some flanges. Makes cleaning a lot easier.

A normal cleaning is removal of the cup and clean it. Leave the skimmer running, with the water below the cup. Take my big skimmer cleaning brush and give the top portion of the skimmer a cleaning, again while its running.

I cleaned the cup, a minimum of once/week. Injector whenever performance is noticably less.

Doug,
Do you just rinse the beckett with water and scrub it or do you soak it in viniger?

That makes sense Jack but tooo much of a PAIN in the A$$ at this point.

I don't fee like making another Flange.

[Doug]

Just back flush it.

[Skimmerking]

ya i used to stick mine in the flush too..



SORRY HAD TO DO IT >

[StirCrazy]

I take mine out and clean the slime off the inside as I always have little snails inside of it.
