Yeah quite similar I like the SWC look better, and also the plug for the skimmer cup looks better (Doesn't affect performance in any way, but looks cleaner.
The biggest difference is the water level adjustment and air intake. The SWC design is much better and easier to adjust in my opinion. After everything is said and done I think the SWC will cost a bit less as well, (No duty and shipping would probably be cheaper), the other plus is that Jayson has replacement parts available directly from Winnipeg for pretty much evey part. I think you'd have to work pretty hard at breaking anything though, pretty sturdy unit. Keep you posted!

Thanks for your excellent review! Keep it coming. I had the SWC Extreme 200 and recently upgraded to the SWC Extreme 250. I have been thrilled with both. Build quality is excellent. Service and support first rate. Also great to support a Canadian company.

Nothing much new to report but the skimmer is working nice and smooth now very consistant skim amount and gross looking.
Still surprised that it broke in this quickly, gunk seems a bit darker today but hard to tell for sure, haven't had to adjust at all since the first night, but may start progressing towards a dryer skim, but fiure I'd leave it wet for a bit. Should be starting Bio-Pellets on Monday so will be interesting to see what the skimmer does. Bio-Pellets are suppose to improve any skimmers performance, but not sure you couldget much better..  TJ
