I totally agree that this mod is worthwhile. I do get one sort of "hmmmmm" moment and that's when I have to restart the pump (say, power failure or whatever). Sometimes (most times) it starts up like a breeze, other times I can pretty much do a rain dance and it won't make a difference. On off on off on off bump bump bump come on, start!! on off on off (blow into air intake) on off (blow some more) COME ON!!! START!!! on off on off (Wife asks why you are swearing) on off on off pound pound poof! starts... Not really sure why it's sometimes so finicky..

Where do you get Enkamat PF4 mesh material?

I have a little bit left, enough to do one at least one mod... PM me if you're interested..

You can order a roll (2 yards) of it from aquaticeco.com for about $30, by the time shipping et al in place it's about $50ish IIRC (this is where I got mine, I just sold off pieces of it to whoever would ask for some, that's how I ended up with very little left!!) http://www.aquaticeco.com/subcategor...at-Nylon/pf4/0

Oh, forgot to mention, if you order from aquaticeco.com be sure to ask for USPS, they default to UPS. Unless it's universal that brokerage fees are down but somehow I doubt it. It would suck to pay $50 brokerage on some PF4.
