Hi guys..

I just read in RC that the deflection ring on the inside of the skimmer collection cup (the one that's on the inside of the lid and deflects foam into the cup) is rather important...

Any thoughts on this? It might be true I think, coz my skimmer doesn't have it and it seems to take a heck of a lot of effort for the foam to overflow into the collection cup...

Should I add the deflector?

Thanks

I guess if the neck is not too close to the lid, that means the gap between the riser neck and the cover of the cup is not wide enough for the skimate to roll over into the collection cup.

My Redsea Berlin skimmer has a beautiful molded deflector, bcos the gap is rather small, the ETS downdraft 800 I used was without the deflector, the gap in between is about 2" big enough for the skimate to fall into the cup. I think bigger the riser neck, wider gap is required.

Hope this will help.

Cheers! :whistle:whistle

If the lid and the edge of the riser tube is far enough, no deflection ring is necessary... but if its extremely close... yes... its important.
