Unless your using other factors to justify the money spent.....like how many times you need to throw the skimmer off your deck before it starts to work properly

Good article, but didn't account for enough break-in for the high end skimmers in my opinion. After a full clean it takes 2-3days for mine to get going, and higher end ones take even longer in many cases. They gave it 24 hours, so that will benefit the skimmers with the least amount of surface.

But a good study, good that we have a way of measuring skimmer performance, and interesting to see the results.
