S**T, sorry, I just cleaned it an hour ago. Absolutely filthy. I'll take a shot at dinner tomorrow to show the thing after 24hrs.

OK, here's the cup after 24 hours. Second shot is the whole skimmer stuffed into my stand. No room left for the collection jug!!

Nice, how do you like it so far? That looks dirty already after 24hrs.

Jack, I think I need to get more air into the thing. I may have been wrong about 2 becketts, or at least the pump size. Although, given how big the cup is, it is pretty filthy after only 1 day.

I have 3/8" JG valves but don't have the tap and dye yet.

I would rather run one big pump than two. So far is it taking out more or equal ammounts of skimmate as your old one?

What about the quality of the skimmate?
