(02/19/2008) - I dont have mine up and running yet, but wanna put a word out about the inlet and outlet plumbing. They are metric. (PVC-U) Not a big deal if you are connecting via hose and clamp, but if you want to "hard-plumb" this skimmer it is gonna take some adapting. Turns out a 1.5" male adapter outer diameter (slip side)from Lowes will fit into the metric PVC outlet pipe. I am still working on the inlet adaptation. Otherwise, I cant wait to get this bad-boy up and running.
