    just hooked up the skimmer and have a bad leak at return pipe, there is only silicon on half of it, we'll wait and see how this is going to be resolved, waiting for the company I bought it from to get back to me, looks like no one at the manufacture even tested for leaks, not real happy

    We test all of our products although sometimes one will get pass undetected. I do apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused you. If you have any other concerns feel free to contact Sandy at Eshopps.

    PSK-100H leaking too

    Looks like i'm having a similar problem as you. I just purchased the ESHOPPS PSK-100H today, 09-28-2012. I set it up in front of my tank to try to dial in the skimmer. Noticed it leaking where the tube is connected to the return pipe. Was it leaking in the same place as yours? This is too bad because I read only postive reviews about this skimmer. Unfortunately I will be taking a 45 min drive to the store I purchased it from to try to get a return.

    Here's a youtube video of the PSK-100H setup on my tank:

    I just bought both a 75H and a 100H. The only leak I had was on the 100H where the gasket on the discharge side of the pump was not seated 100%. Easy fix luckily. Other than that both are working great. So this issue is not 100% across the board, but should be checked for upon purchase apparently.
