Lets see....a Tunze plastic wave box, a Tunze plastic pump, another Tunze plastic pump with a plastic controller and a Deltic plastic skimmer.....all total about 2000 with tax's. Divide that by 60 gallons and you get over 30 dollars per gallon for your plastic.

This big *** skimmer is less than 4 dollars per gallon. Sounds like a deal to me... :biggrin:

OMFG OMFG OMFG, I just had a godfricking essay deleted by random IE SHUTDOWN. PIECE OF CRAP! HOLY CRAP! I HATE THIS THING. FIREFOX FOREVER, FRICK!

If the manufacturer sets up tooling to make these the costs have to be covered by the number of units sold. So if you're comparing these skimmers to mass produced automobiles you have to compare the numbers that are being produced, and divide the r&d +tooling and manufacturing setup by the number of products produced.

Not to justify the cost of the skimmer but it is worth the exact amount that someone is willing to pay for it.

If you want an example of a product where production cost is far far less than the selling price, look at computer software. How many copies of Windows has been sold. It probably costs Microsoft less than a cent per copy to have the cd printed and it sells for $100 and up http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...c.asp?CatId=26

Why not spend $40000 US (not including shipping) and get this http://www.aquasonic.com.au/brochures/rk2_brochure.pdf

I never get crashes in IE using v6 or 7, in XP or Vista....yay me!!

Dude, I spent at least half an hour on that post! It was textbook worthy...

I'm not on my own computer though, using my girlfriend's. Ugh.

Anyway, time to brush my teeth.

There's the problem. GF computers always crash.

Only when BFs are using them
