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.

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

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.

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.
