Great price for these tho that's for sure.
True. And from what I've read it seems that with this type of automated cleaner it requires removal for cleaning every 1-2 weeks as some skimmate starts to accumulate on the apparatus. I'll gladly remove it every 1-2 weeks to clean it. And again, after I've had some time with it I'll see what kind of effect it has on skimmer performance overall.
