Send me your air meter and i'll let you know.

It would be interesting to know, but i'm not willing to drop the cash for 2 (dual injectors) just for a number. The skimmer is ripping right along and that's all I need to know.

Ok whats your address? LOL

Anyways, you can get one on Ebay for 15 bucks shipped

It is a nice tool, atleast it will tell me when my beckett get clogged with the LITTLE snails from hell and the bubble algea......jezzzzzzz

Do you have a part #? Maybe i'll pick one up. I thought they were more expensive than that.

If you look on ebay, just search Dwyer, and try and find the right model number

open up the beckett

put superglue on to the 2 ends of this piece but only on one side

& glue to one side this way u will be able to take the other 1/2 off when u clean,
the ones i have are not glue i just have never had that problem,
if u dont have the 2 ends on the slot where they drop in it will make noise.

we where due for pictures on how to glue & yes i was bored

thanks, I will try to just clean it tomorrow and maybe that will help before I do anything permanent. Is that part supposed to spin?

You can easily pull it back apart if need be...no it doesn't spin.

It's very common to have to do that to keep the becket from rattling after a while.

It is very simple

I dont use the corny cotton ball

I have RO tubing 1/4 comming from the air injector, the dwyer air meter has connections on the back for 1/4 inch tube

:fun4:

HTH

 

[fishdoc11]

I need to get rid of my "corny cotton ball" :lol:

 

[Mr James]

Thanks Bond!!

 

[binaryterror]

How do you silence the Mr-2?

 

[sellout007]

Well after having my skimmer off line for a week or two I FINALLY got it hooked up the right way. I hope.

Steve68, You saved my marriage with that little silencer trick. Oh so much better I can't even believe it. I finally like my skimmer now. Thanks a million

 

[steve68]

no problem im glad it work.

 

[ezhoops]

one last thing, How do I get a wetter skimmate, do I closed the gate valve more or let more air in?

thanks

 

[steve68]

u can do both to get a wetter skimmate,
IME i have found a sweet spot for my water level so most of the time i just add more air to run it wet.
