SRC Member typrobin Posted May 28, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted May 28, 2004 the height and size of the reaction chamber should be as huge and as tall as possible.... it depends on your budget and space constraint... it is said to improve the contact time of the bubbles and the water thus more dirt will be extracted.... a mazzei injector is a venturi....i believe for such injector to work to its optimal, a strong pump should be used....the stronger the better... if u can afford, u might even wanna use a mx70....however, if u use a stronger pump, u have it enlarge the the skimmer as a whole (taller and larger reaction chamber and bigger gate valve) to maximize efficiency.... i think it mainly depends on your budget.... so basically everything should be proportional.... bigger pump = bigger skimmer body = thicker wallet needed and vice versa Quote MY OLD 3ft!!
