Travis, i can see that you do not believe what i have tested with Klaus together, i have no problem with that, but please get yourself an airmeter so you can see it for yourself,
what ever you do dont remove the nozzle it will lower your BK's performence trasticly | |  | |  | |
Hi Heinz,
I do believe your tests with Klaus, which is why I posted this at the end of that post:

Heinz was over at Klaus's and said they hooked up an air pump and watt meter and found that when the nozzle is removed, the RD sucks up twice as much electricity and half as much air. So it is only an illusion in the skimmer body that there is more air going into the skimmer with the nozzle removed. I now run my nozzle unscrewed almost all the way. | | | | | | |
The part about doubting the air intake claims was the part I copied from only 1 week after running the skimmer.
As for the silencer, I do see that the majority of the air does not need to go through the floss. But I bet some of the air does still travel throught it, even if it is only a small percentage of the total airflow. I'm not sure what was restricted on mine but something WAS restricted and it was inside the silencer.
