Yea ... tube, pvc and a couple needle wheel pumps!! ;)

No, that's not a chimney on my house, that's just my skimmer sticking out! lmao

I realized after I read through it .. that looks just like well kind of like what SteveR and I are going to do for the recirculating skimmer. Minus the fancy blue paint!

We are going to use 6", but Ill dig around and post some prices. I did price some clear pvc today and its right up there with acrylic.

Why not clear pvc for skimmers I was thinking then you could glue everything instead of solvent. ;)

I know pressure!!! The house you are in doesnt have pressure :P
