Just a reminder for everyone!


CLEAN YOUR SKIMMER! I mean really clean it so it looks like NEW!

I know thias sound like a silly reminder but I think it is one thing that can be over looked. I thought I was doing OK by cleaning my Becket every couple of weeks and clearing the riser when it got a bit thick. But this weekend I took it right out and cleaned it so it looked like new and let me tell you I had forgotten (in just 4 months) how my skimmer is supposed to run! What a difference. Sorry about not having any pics of the nasty crap that my skimmer is creating again, but I am sure you all know what it looks like anyway!

thanks for the reminder I found out the same thing I now clean the little filter for the bubbles every week and I get so much more skim by doing that.

I do the quick cleaning of the riser daily but really get in there and clean it out i do monthly and it makes a HUGE difference. It makes a huge differnece to do the quick cleaning of the riser daily.
