Tired of skimmer

[GoFish]

Here are some photos of what i did. No more chaeto clogging up the needle wheel or bubble plate. It takes ALOT of crud to plug up the netting, the last photo is about 40% of what ive seen it block and have yet to have any change to the level in the skimmer body

Sorry this isn't a complete walkthrough but the pics should give you an idea..

Needed
Clamato Bottle (1.89L) I used this because of the shape and size of lid, the elastic band fits nicely in the curved part
Dremel or other rotary tool to cut the hole in the lid and top of the bottle off
Elastic band
Wedding veil
Crazy Glue
Safety goggles or not

Hole cut in lid and glued to the skimmer intake


Top of Clamato bottle with elastic band holding wedding veil


In action...


The wedding veil is really easy to rinse off, about 1 minute in the sink every month running the tap inside the mouth of the bottle

AND YOU GET TO DRINK CLAMATO.... MMM CLAMATO... and BEER...must be 19 years of age or older

Like i say you are more than welcome to come by, i can even cut the bottle and hole in the lid for you
