ATI BM160 Mesh wheel

[Mel-E-Mel]

Has anyone put an extra layer of mesh in the sicce pump for the BM160? The original single layer of mesh looks like it needs replacement and i was playing around with the idea of adding a second layer.

Will this cause the pump to work harder leading to pump failure or will i be ok? If you have done some kind of mod to you yours please chime in. Thanks!

Many use 3 layers of mesh for the sicce 2500 pump on the Octo/MSX skimmers. It should start with two layers no problem. It's all about how far off the disk you trim it. Mine would start with three layers if I kept the mesh cut to around 1/4" beyond the disk.

Would trimming the mesh 1/4" beyond the disk be optimal for 2 layers? Should i go for 3 layers?
