[StirCrazy]

Hello Steve,

Yes they are the foam nozzles, designed for your ponds. They are big, bold, and expensive. Driving these require a pump capable of putting out a good 900 - 1200gph pressure rated. The Quiet One pump, for eg, won't work. The Dolphin stuff does.

Hey Steve, if it is the beckett foamer part # 1408, and is $30, and you saw it at HD, then it's the right one! I am using a mag18 for my skimmer, but a mag 12 would work fine I think.

Last time I was a HD there were 3 of them.. I almost bought them all.. but I already had 3 of them. I sold one to Adam, but I like to have one installed, and one in vinegar..they get a bit crusty. images/smiles/icon_eek.gif When I was in there in the summer (when I was building my skimmer) they ran out and the guy working there said that they weren't bringing any more in.. what a lier images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

btw, do you know the secret beckett injector holder? It is a special pvc fitting

Hey Bruce I am going to have to see your setup one day so I know what to do with these when I buy them hehe

StirCrazy or Silverfish,
Did you guys get the Becket injectors? I would like to know the HD SKU# so I can get one of the stores to order them for me, I would like to have the option to upgrade my ETSS 800 with those.

[Silverfish]

Sorry Lee, I don't have a sku #, just the part # 1408.

Bruce and Steve,

What HD did you find the injectors at, I'll be down that way on Thursday/Friday. Also directions for a non Vic guy would be nice.

take the millstream exit off the highway and, if you're coming in from up island, hang left and go straight 300m to home depot.

Hi Lee, the HD is in Langford, and it is the only other one besides Naniamo. If you are coming down island, go past Goldstream and it is at the first overpass that you run into. Turn left over the overpass, and you can't miss it. When you see the Future Shop and Costco, it's right there. I will email you my # if you want to meet up or chit-chat. images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Bruce,

Thanks for the instructions, I found it and some of the LFS on MYBC.com site and got maps for them. I will give you a call when I get into town.
