Consider this, how many CANADIAN companies do we have making kickass skimmers... One... SWC. Bubble Magus is a knockoff skimmer, SWC wins hands down.

Well, I like SWC skimmers and own one myself but that statement isnt exactly accurate. The skimmer body is made in China by honya and the pump isnt made in Canada either...in the case of the sicce its Italian....not sure on the the askoll or the pumps they are using for the small cones but Im sure they are not Canadian.

Also I dont see how Bubble Magus is any more a knock-off then SWC. Every skimmer manufacturer is stealing ideas these days.

At least the profit margin on the sale should stay in Canada....

I do believe SWC is one of the best (if not THE BEST) value skimmers on the market.

Honya no longer makes anything for SWC as far as I know, Honya make Skimmers for Octopus and Vertex.

Well the octopus extreme is the same body as the SWC extreme. I think SWC went white though...is that when they dropped honya? Either case I doubt the moved the production of the body to Canada....most likely still in China somewhere.

SWC has two CNC machines in house in Canada that they make some of their products on. Not everything comes from China. Pumps are done in house in Canada. They dropped Honya as they were supposedly selling their designs to Coral Vue. Honya makes most if not all of the Octopus skimmers as well as a few of the Vertex Skimmers. All of our products are designed in Canada by SWC. A true Canadian company.

I have Jayson sending me pictures of his two CNC machines.......
