Skimmer threads are comical. These guys need to stop worring so much about that air flow meter and read Escobal's book. There is more to it than air flow but I dont think anyone even the scientist could get that point across.

lol! take a poll on how many people have even heard about Escobal let alone read any of his work:dunce:
Shame, those are some fairly smart kids playing with those elcheapo skimmers. I think if they used a little simple science, the group would be able to come up with one heck of a skimmer.
Don
cmon then genius. give me a skimmer that works as well as mine for the total cost of my mods. hmm they were free. i dont see where you get off shooting down someones ideas because you read a book. hell, i read too but if i help others figure out what they can do better i will., instead of saying that their ideas are pointless because they havent read a book. yeah i know who escobal is, and guess what i've never read any of his stuff and my goods kick butt! if you would take your own advice and do some reading of what people are doing with their equipment then perhaps you may see that the hobby and its equipment is constantly changing. do you honestly believe that all of these guys on other sites are just throwing stuff on their skimmer and hoping it works? they are and guess what,some of them actually work. all of the dwyer meters and kill-a-watt meters are used for more than just paperweights. seems to me like modifying for better performance and then testing to confirm the results sounds fairly scientific.. go figure. if i can have a much better performing skimmer for a very small cost in time and $$ then im going to.
ok im done now.
