Default Nice skimmer

Nice review.

I own an earlier version of this skimmer for 2.5 years and it worked as you say for about 1.5 yrs. It pulls awesome skimmate, quality built, easy to adjust and silent.

The weak link is the absolute garbage Waveline motor they pair these with. My first motor failed, then when my backup motor failed I swapped out my DC5000 block (same pump-different impeller) from my return pump and put in the skimmer impeller. That worked for about 2 months until yup that too failed. All the while I was attempting (without success) to get a response from the manufacturer for assistance.

Hopefully they've worked the bugs out and your awesome skimmer will remain awesome. 3 motors later I now have an expensive paperweight and STILL no response from RLSS.
