new venturi availability?

[Mimbler1]

Hi Roger,
Just checking in to see if the new improved venturi for the Comline 3130/2 is available yet. If there is a site I can monitor to know when it is available, I'd be happy to do that so I don't keep periodically bothering you!
thanks, Mike

I have some on order, they are out now. If your skimmer is just a few months old it may have it, it is one piece vs the old two piece, nozzle/prenozzle design.

Mine is the two piece - I would be happy to place an order with you if I could, and you could ship when they become available,
thanks, Mike

No problem, the part is going to be $7.26. If you want to give me a call at 512-833-7546 later today I can send one when I get them.

Any chance you could post or direct me to some pictures or some other way of showing the difference between the new and old venturi?

Thanks, Gary

I can't get a picture on such a small object which will show the difference. It is one piece unlike the old two piece nozzle and produces a finer bubble and about 50% more of them. It is standard now on Comline models 3130/2, 3140/2 and 3160/2. It can be added to 230/3 and 240/3 but there is a problem with micro bubbles exiting the skimmer so it is not standard. If you are using it in a large sump though it should be no problem.
