I got an idea of a auspicious way to fire it up. Get some pole dancers to dance around the skimmer. :idea:

nicky30092002:

that's why i said this is the last skimmer i will ever use..... :)

no more skimmer upgrades for me in future

lvcap:

some lfs have bigger skimmers than this lah....mine is between normal home size and lfs size skimmer :) if u noticed, if u just put the collection cup on top of the base unit...it is a skimmer by itself....i can choose to run it in its shortened height if i want to next time..... :)

patrick123:

that's why my doggie can perch on the cup without problems...

bwilly:

hehe...yeah lor...electical bill will be high....but...compare to other top range skimmers if i buy commercially of this height, it is still a cheaper option to use this skimmer even if take into consideration electric bill :)

one of the closer ready-made ones i can think of in size is the aquamedic turboflotor 5000. It is 1.93m tall, only 8inch wide reaction chamber....but costs around $20k.....i wun try to debate with aquamedic fans which is better in performance....but one thing is for sure....at only 10% of the aquamedic price ($2k vs $20k)..i am sure the performance of mine is better than 10% of the aquamedic :)

even if my quad beckett works only half as well at the aquamedic-5000....i already gained from paying only 10% of the aquamedic and yet can get 50% of aquamedic-5000's performance

congrats...argentina won :)

RAV-65:

this skimmer is around $2k odd....the maker? one of the early SRC DIY gurus...way way back before DIY became commercialised....in those days DIYs were strictly for themselves or friends only...not like now when u see rows and rows of units being churned out.....no point revealing who also....those who knows, already know....those who dunno...not life-or-death importance to know also lah :)

he came out of DIY-retirement to do this monument for me....after which he will go back to retirement again....out of friendship that he took on this project ..... :)
