Anyone use an ETSS 5000 skimmer?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm getting really tired of my touchy skimmer, cleaned the injector tonight by sucking water through it and now it's acting goofy till tomorrow. Time to get started on a new one.

Any tips you can give me about dialing it in? I'm ordering one next week once they're back from vacation

What ever you do get the right pump for it. I found that the higher the pressure of the pump the better they work. You can also mess with the bio balls in the tower to fine tune things. oh and I found that any elbows on the discharge effects the way it foams. Other than that you should be smooth sailing

We run RK2s on the big stuff. :naughty:
I just saw a RK2 25PE go for 1100.00 at an auction and it looked like new! I also read an article from a guy that had the same skimmer and he said its preformance was not all that good till he replaced the injector with a Reeflo Dart Needlewheel pump and then it was a whole new deal with lots more skimmate. Thats was a surprize to me :eek:
