yeah lemme bug john to see if he can get me two uniseals and then after we talk i wanna see what this tunze skimmer can do.

I found the bag with the uniseals, I only have 1" , not the 3/4" you wanted.

Do you want the 1" ? I'll bring them back with me just in case you can use them.

does the skimmer come with an internal pump? or do you need to add one to it?

When I had mine it had a controller for the pump which you could adjust and that would make it skimmer wet/dry. It also had the screw where you could adjust the air. It was a good skimmer but it whistle, from the air intake, and it was pretty noisey.
this one doesnt whistle or sing
