    i have heard about the drilling, but i worry about drilling as having no experience with it. Can't wait to see what you found to stop the microbubbles.

    i'm glad that they worked with you, i hope they do the same for me. Like i said, i will give this skimmer one more chance, and if there is still problems i will be looking for a new skimmer.

    lol got to love the Clevland show, very funny just cheared me up, from being so mad at my skimmer, but still mad at the skimmer itself

    hey every time I get a skimmer I put a enormous pump on it and I put a valve on the pump before the skimmer to control the intake flow.

    I'll check this one out too.

    So they emailed me back, and said they don't take used skimmers back BOO! They also said that when things go wrong it's usually the pumps and that they want dome more info. So when I get home I'll write up everything that had gone wrong with this skimmer. This is going to be the skimmers very last chance and if I can't get it working right I'm seriously DONE with this skimmer. I just wish I had more money to get a new skimmer right mow and not even bother with this one. I still have it unplugged and I'm hoping tonight I can get it working some what working

    That model does sound like a pain. I have the BH-1000 and it just works. I don't have any problems with it. Maybe that model is defective?
