Default Skimmers


I'll try something like this -- there's a spot in my somewhat round spot
where a lot of junk collects so I might have some luck. If not, I'll try
a no nitch.

Here's a no nitch without all the (outside) plumbing:

I was trying to find a picture of that, unfortunately Aqua-Mart doesn't
carry it any more. I'll have to do some searching. I have seen this one
in
action, and imho, I'd rather have one of the no-nitch above. ~ jan

OK Jan, I'll bite - what is "no nitch" :~
