Cleaning used skimmer??

emtp380 · 06-26-2007, 07:50 PM

I just got a used (but in new condition) Aqua C EV 120, it needs cleaning. Any tips and/or instructions? Thanks

use some white vinegar and some water to clean ..and remember that vinegar goes well with ya potato chips too

Yea, but you need malt vinegar for the chips. White vinegar and warm water for the skimmer. Also, a good cold brew goes well (I'm told) with the chips while you're cleaning the skimmer.

Vinegar & salt on fries as well.

Nice skimmer (I have the EV-180) --- you will be very happy with it. Make sure to clean out the water input jet port and air vent when you clean it. I check/clean mine monthly as they clog very easily which has a very adverse affect on skimmer performance.

I have the EV- 150 (same thing almost) and yeah it is a good skimmer just clogs easily.
