A couple other tidbits that I forgot to mention but some are obvious...
I'm running the skimmer at a depth of 8-9" in the sump. The collection cup has a drain on it so it can be hooked up to a secondary collection bottle or drain. And on the base of the skimmer there are 4 rubber feet that skimmer sits on, which helps keep it quite. If I think of more I will add them as we go... TJ

Yeah quite similar I like the SWC look better, and also the plug for the skimmer cup looks better (Doesn't affect performance in any way, but looks cleaner.
The biggest difference is the water level adjustment and air intake. The SWC design is much better and easier to adjust in my opinion. After everything is said and done I think the SWC will cost a bit less as well, (No duty and shipping would probably be cheaper), the other plus is that Jayson has replacement parts available directly from Winnipeg for pretty much evey part. I think you'd have to work pretty hard at breaking anything though, pretty sturdy unit. Keep you posted!

Thanks for your excellent review! Keep it coming. I had the SWC Extreme 200 and recently upgraded to the SWC Extreme 250. I have been thrilled with both. Build quality is excellent. Service and support first rate. Also great to support a Canadian company.
