hey I called dibs on it before he even got it

It's matter of time, maybe the availability of a Barr Beckett will hurry it a bit.

LOL, i just saw this at RC. You show off. But seriously, you need to modify your SIG until further notice. Nice Video!

LOL OK I will change my sig

I've been getting a lot of PM and emails asking about the skimmers performance. Posting a video was the best way I could answer performance questions I guess.......

That and I hate Deltec
Just want peps to see what you can get for $700 here VS a $700 deltec

I didn't know you can get a $700 Deltec, you sure you didn't miss a 1 somewhere, lol.

I'm a bit mystified as to how the collection cup attaches to the body. It just sits on top, what prevents water from seeping out?

Oh and thanks for modifying your sig! LOL

Yeah I'm interested to see how it holds up long term. They've done quite a few design changes each time saying "now we've got it right!" Perhaps they do but I'm waiting a year or so to see if they have.

I hear ya fritz. If you want a 100% plug and play this may not be the right skimmer at the moment. Waiting would definitely be best. Quite a few guys are having problems. I don't give a crap either way because I modded the skimmer to do what I want. I don't care what ATI does
