Auto Shut Off Skimmer Waste Collection

[JLiu]

For the most part there can be 2 lines for your skimmer an air line going to the intake of your pump (unless you have a beckett but there are valves that you can hook up a line to) and a drain line out from your cup (if not then you can drill your cup and attach a drain line). From the skimmer theres a drain line leading to the waste collector as your skimmer produces waste it collects in the container as the level of waste in the collector rises it pushes up on a ping pong ball at the top level the ball cuts off the air going to the pump (or beckett) for your skimmer. The ball acts as a plug for the air line. If your skimmer isn't producing anymore bubbles there isn't anymore waste being collected.
