This part makes the skimmer also good, but there are a few other details that make even a star too much.
1: The valve does not close tightly, which means it runs water overnight when the door is closed for cleaning basket. Depending on the pump the water level then falls not even under level basket.
2: To remove the basket must be unthread him diagonally, of course always falls dirt from the basket into the water. This must fish out of hand or with Nets back to then.
3: The basket support is very rough, it is definitely too much and by the pump and thus follow damage.
4: The basket support is on rubber parts that are there to finish around the basket closely. These rubber components often fall off the basket and clean the water.
5: The basket, as well as the whole skimmer are made of thin plastic and unstable. If the skimmer dug the earth pushes the walls and the cage clamps. Even if you pay attention it when burying it passes through the sloughing of the earth, or if someone is standing right next to the basket time. A "handle" of the basket broke inside from a very short time.
6. The cover looks real from totally goofy.
7. This skimmer is a complete consummate bad design.
8. If you buy this skimmer and then installs, then he's in it. The hole is in the film and the water in the pond. You do not get this skimmer just so out again! Drin in it and I do not regret this purchase every time I have to clean the crap thing again.
DO NOT BUY!!
Better spend more on eg Savio. I should have done it. Do not make the same mistake and let the fingers of this thing.
