just ordered mine the 180 Gen 2 from PA hope to get it soon so i and start on my sump build then the stand. be it that was just one of my orders from PA this weekend. They got a good bit of my tax return. lol
so i just looked and i got a Gen 3 anyone know what the new add ons are from the Gen 2?
Have a in-100 think gen 3 not sure, but when the pump turns on after feeding it has a boil over and the cup fills up and drains into my catch jug, is this normal? Have unit in 7 inches of water , clean unit all parts, still doing it , have valve mostly closed, edge of stickers line up with each other , bubbles come up about half way in the neck, any thoughts, thanks craig
Bought used off eBay, guy had it 3 to 4 months , I've had it up and running for 3 months, ran clean water through air hoses and cleaned top hole of output tube
I have a quick question about the Vertex IN-100 skimmer, but I guess it could be asked of any skimmer. The collection cup has a drain with a plug in it. Does anyone every run a tube from this drain into a larger container so you don't have to drain the skimmer as often? I was thinking about draining into like a 1 gallon milk jug. Any thoughts?
I've done this with previous skimmers. . . you may also want to add a valve on the drain hose so that you can manually drain it to the jug.
This will also add a safety feature incase your skimmer goes nuts and starts overflowing. I would rather it overflow in the sump than the floor.
