hi, can someone put a pic up of how they have assembled the grey pipe work that comes with the skim2 pls.
have had one for a couple of weeks but as they dont come with instructions? and a two pin plug:whistling: , have not gotten round to installing it!
claude kindly offered to e mail me instructions but has had issues getting them to me,
is there an optimum water level around the skimmer?
the grey pipe i have the T piece which connects to the skimmer body, then i have a bracket type bit, a longer piece with an angled end, a shorter piece with a blue bung in each end with a small hole in the center and a nipple on one end the same diameter as the air hose fitted to the aquabee,
and whats the little white screw for in one end of the T piece, i'm sure it's all obvious but i aint the sharpest tool in the box!!

My airline pushes onto a small pipe coming off the side of the top pipe, the lower section of pipe has a hole in it which the collar can cover (or not) to adjust the air intake of the skimmer, this is visible on the 3rd and 4th pics on the thread.

Is yours the needle wheel version? as the venturi version probably has a different set up.

Hope it helps,

Jim

just checked, the longer pipe with the angle on has two holes at the top and no connection for an airline??
the pipe that goes on top of that has the two blue bungs one with a hole in and one with the nipple on.
