skimmer mod

[apedroza]

the gate mod makes a huge difference in controlling the way your skimmer works. I highly recommend getting one.

Does anybody know by chance where you can buy just the end section of the needle wheel portion, the plastic part with the pins. I got the stuff from Paul (thanks again byt the way) but just bought this impeller and am a little aprehensive. Wouldn't mind as much if you could get just the plastic end piece.

So what IS the gate mod, anyway? I know the mesh mod, and the recirc-feed mod, but not the gate valve mod.

Here is a link that shows how ASM does the gate valve mod. Works the same way on the ER.

Don't know where you'd find just the needlewheel pins. They are supposed to be made by ER and therefore would not be readily available. The impeller gets a lot of mods done by ER to accept their wheel.
