HA, doesn't work very well as is. I've been given many over the years because my friends go out an buy better ones.

| Performance vs. Expectations |
If you change out the pump, put a 3/4' venturi down line of the pump at watch it on an hourly basis, then it is an okay skimmer.

Poor Performer
| General |
I ran this skimmer for a VERY short time on my first system. It was the first skimmer I owned and I will never own one again. The pump would rarely restart within a reasonable amount of time. The impellar kept breaking, even after multiple replacements. I would never buy this skimmer again! |

Never Again
| General |
This was the first skimmer I ever owned and the worst. When I bought this skimmer I really didn't even know what skimmers were for so I didn't realize how bad it was. After talking to a few people who told me how skimmers were supposed to work I called the manufacturer (since my store warenty was expired). I didn't feel as if they cared at all they just kept telling me it needed to be adjusted properly. I can honestly say I had it for a yr and never collected a single cup of skim mate. Shortly after tossing this skimmer I bought seaclone and although this is not a review on the seaclone I will say it worked much better than the redsea skimmer. |

Used as an in sump installation, the pump will often not restart when the power fails (like a thrown breaker). When you try to restart, the cheap feeling plastic parts start to come apart. Would not recomment, and if you live close to me in NC you can have mine for $25 (about what its worth). Granted I do have a tight installation which make working on it near impossible.
