    everything is done <_< and we are still speaking . My husband added a valve (from the pump to the skimmer), and it was a good thing since the pump is putting out so much force that the out put from the skimmer could not keep up with the input. The valve is barely open. I want to thank everybody for the help and advice. A special thanks to Pete for taking the time to talk to my husband when he didn't understand what I was saying. I will let everybody know how things are going in a week or two when it starts producing waste.

    Well, Abe and myself picked up our skimmers today. You would not believe the craftsmanship that went into these things. I expected to have to purchace a few other items for the skimmer, and do some fine tuning, but that was not necessary. Everything you see in his shots comes with the skimmer. (unlike some name brands such as PM)

    I expected the main tube to just be glued to the top of the base stand. That was not the case either. He took the extra time to half cut the base so that the main tube would have a bottom and side glue surface when placed into its fitted notches.

    When we drove up, he was buff polishing the systems for a clean shiny look. We were very happy with our excellent deal, at our great price. Much below the market price for name brand competition, and the quality was as good, if not better than the big names.

    He took the time to explain everything to us, and told us to call if we ran into kinks with the setup. I have not seen that on the open marked for other skimmers ever.

    BTW, the in wall setup is looking AWESOME. Keep up the good work Pete, and thanks for being a new found friend!!!

    Just wanted to give an update. Everything is working great. The skimmer started producing foam 3 days after we got it hooked up. We have done a little valve adujusting but that's it. I wanted to thank everyone again for all their input and help, especially Pete.
    Thanks, Leslie
