Excellent Skimmer

by JOHN W

Excellent!

Posted: 11/8/2012 from MONTEBELLO, CA UNITED STATES Experience Level: Intermediate

Comments: This skimmer was very easy to set up. The Sicce pump is running very very quiet. Although, the manufacturer stated that we need one or two weeks to break-down the skimmer. My skimmer started pulling out black waste within three days period. I highly recommend this skimmer to anyone.

Excellent!

Posted: 10/15/2012 from OVIEDO, FL UNITED STATES Experience Level: Expert

Comments: This is a great skimmer workes very well. Small foot print for such a powerful skimmer. My only dislike is at first was the noise of the intake. It was quite load. After awhile the noise subsided and is fairly quite now. Not sure why this happened but over all I am very pleased with this skimmer.

Excellent!

Posted: 10/9/2012 from WOODBRIDGE, VA UNITED STATES Experience Level: Intermediate

Comments: I am very satisfied with this product. cleaning gunk out I didnt even know I had. The only complaint I have which prevented me from giving it 5 stars is the noise of the air intake. The pump is quiet but the air sucking sound is a bit annoying.
