Default Self Cleaning Skimmer Lid

I've got a Bubble King Supermarin 250 and i'm looking for a good self cleaning lid. I remember seeing them new for pretty cheap somewhere but I don't remember where. Not really interested in spending over $500 for one. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

You are in luck, Vertex just came out with a new line of self cleaners. I priced out one for mine bbk250 from JL and it was around 225.

Advast Marine?? which is a bit cheaper than Vertex, however custom charges and duty may cost you though.

I am too looking for one of those as well, it's either get a new sump, or get the Swabbie. As it right now, skimmer cup can not be remove without draining the skimmate first.

Stop in at blue world. I think we still have one of the units there you could see. They look really slick. I have the avast one and the workmanship on the vertex is a noticeable improvement. Plus they have a bigger wiping blade (compared to mine)
