You can't go wrong with the Alpha-cone

I had a skimmer that just didn't seem to be performing the way it used to…. I couldn't figure it out until months later. It ended up being a bit of blockage on the intake side of things that just wasn't visible. It took me figuring it out and I had an "aha" moment and the skimmer resumed it's duties at full force once again. (previous to that I had taken the pump apart, vinegar. Taken the venturi off to clean it and cleaned basically everything else, but the blockage was in the silencer). Hopefully it's a simple fix for you.

I also went the Vertex Omega route and love it!

Hmm.. Interesting! Is the silencer that tall pipe that adjusts the water flow ? Is it an air line or water line ?

How tall of a skimmer can you fit?

I have lots of height clearance, like 30". But the compartment in the sump is only 13" wide by 24" long.

AquaC EV240 would fit that space.

brotherd · #**1699** 04-23-2014, 03:42 AM

How about a Lifereef svs3-30 in sump skimmer. Rated for 350 gal. Any water depth up to 16 inches and will fit the footprint you need.

It was the air silencer (so basically where the air enters into a chamber to silence it). Hope this helps…..what I just typed out sounds like gibberish to me.
