Unsatisfactory

Water Fountain by Disappointed

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 10/29/2008 from Emerald Isle, NC UNITED STATES

Comments: This skimmer has begun to overflow despite getting cleaned a week prior. Last month, I returned from work one day to find water on my hardwood floor and Persian (from Iraq) rug. I unplugged the skimmer and cleaned it according to manuf recommendations. Since then, I cleaned the skimmer weekly and adjusted the flow rate daily. Despite constant monitoring/adjusting the skimmer seemed to be working ok. This morning, I woke up to find a similar puddle on the floor (despite thoroughly cleaning the skimmer just 4 days ago) so I unplugged the skimmer and now I'm in the market for another one. Hopefully my rug and hardwood floor won't be damaged. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Average

Bad Pump Design by JOE CRANE

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/10/2008 from MADISON, WI UNITED STATES

Comments: Right out the box the skimmer works great. Unfortunately, the pump that comes with the skimmer is annoyingly loud because the rotating magnet/propeller has about a half inch of slop in it and the propeller scrapes on the bottom plate around the intake hole. I went to the local hardware store and installed a 3/8" thick nylon washer to keep the propeller from scraping on the area around the intake hole. It now runs extremely quieter than it initially did out of the box. If it wasn't for the problem that you buy with the pump, I would have rated this skimmer 5 stars. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
