How long has it been running now Kathy? how many days collection was that picture?
I've seen more gunk in other becket skimmers, but there are so many variables.

J, the skimmate gets drained from the cup. It never has more than that in the cup itself. In the pic you can see the drainhose

Kathy, take a pic of the waste container and show them what alot of skimate really means!!

Still looking for an answer to the question above

JH - It's been running since the middle of last week, but as Herman said (thanks Herman )what you see in the cup is not all that's been collected since the cup drains into a jug next to the skimmer.
I had it turned down to barely skimming while I was away for the weekend (afraid it might overflow the jug..need to pick up a waste collector for it..) and when I came home it seemed to be skimming at a decent rate so I've left it alone.
I'm collecting about 3/4 of an inch per day of skimmate in an Arizona gallon sized bottle..if that's any help...lol. It's the color of dark tea.

So far so good!!

Not a fad Herman. You know I'm a tough critic.

Kathy, the way you have the pump plumbed to the becketts won't effect the performance of the skimmer. I am more concerned about your drain. Is the drain pipe submerged in your sump?
