Help Wanted.

[Capt. Nemo]

Hi everyone,

I need someone who has experience with plumbing external skimmers to help install a gravity fed external skimmer for me. I live in Pequannock (near Wayne). Free beer to the one who can do the job!

Thanks,
Gary

H&S A110 & Megaflow.

Anybody on here ever plumb an external skimmer before?

Yes but you live really far from me.

Free beer and a steak? : ) Anyone here near me that can offer a hand. I live up on the 2nd floor to my landlord and I cant take a chance with my plumbing skills or lack thereof.

Thanks,
Gary

I might be able to give you a hand one night next week. But just some questions:
Are you going to feed the skimmer from the overflow or with a pump?
Are you using tubing or hard PVC pipe from your overflow?

It looks like you need to put a T fitting on your overflow pipe and put a valve between the T fitting and the skimmer so you can adjust the feed.
