    Two thumbs and eight fingers down.

    Day 4: Loud and kinda rattling. No skimmate yet. Never had a skimmer not produce skimmate within a few hours.

    I should have went to dinner and had cocktails with the $150.

    Sorry to hear that. Nice review though. :)

    Did you play with the pump yet? How about the waterline in the skimmer?

    Yes, I took everything apart, made sure the pump wasn't vibrating against the housing, and put it all back together.

    It is making bubbles, but no skimmate.

    So its been a few weeks and this skimmer is better than the IM Skimmate Skimmer.

    However, to use "Unheard" and "Unrivaled Performance" in the advertising is criminal.

    I have the air intake on mine backed way down to reduce noise, which produces a nice "dry" skim mate after a few days.

    Micro bubbles are pretty much gone, so all and all it now give it a 3.5/5 rating.
