Yay.


Mike, thats one honkin looking skimmer. I always liked the Mak4 pumps for becketts but after seeing Mike,s run on the Mak5, I would say much better pump. But certainly more noise. He is driving the single 28in. beckett tall with it.

Although I also dont have any Gen X experience, they may the way to go, especially if quieter.

Nice Beckett. I suggest a GenX PCX-100, it will drive both becketts just fine.

i'm trying to sweet talk Lando for his mak 5

Use an external.

Blueline pumps are much nicer the pcx ones, but both work well.

[Skimmerking]

what size you don't think a mak 5 would work, what about those genx 18000 4750 flow or use a pressure rated pump

why not use a hammerhead? it is more efficient watt for watt and in addition to the skimmer, you can use it for other functions such as your return pump.
i believe there are a couple for sale.......

Hammerhead is too big for that skimmer, but it can be throttled back.

Hammerhead uses about 375 watts, but two pcx40 would use about 230 watts and run it just fine.

A Dart is likely too small, but their middle pump that uses 280 watts or so would work well.
