I sorted that out before I installed the skimmer. Likely a non-issue as it doesn't seem to move and it's nice not fighting with it while adjusting.

Ok good feedback - I will look into having a locking mechanism fitted just for piece of mind. All adds to the quality.

I saw and heard this skimmer running. It's unbelievable how quiet it is.

I believe I've run this thing long enough to come to a final conclusion!

The Good:
It's never once had a problem starting.
It runs quiet!!!
The footprint is small for the performance.
It performs extremely well.

Improvements:
Dials are a little loose, after adding a few O-rings this is no longer an issue. Easy fix.

DIY Modification:
I added a float valve to the lid, this stops the pumps when the skimmer cup is full (Using DIY auto top-off circuitry). This by no means a requirement, but saved several overflows (due to laziness).

I'll leave you all with a couple of final photographs...
