Hello,
I have two 130 RSM. One of the biggest maintenance issues I have is with the air intake for the Protein skimmer. Every few weeks I have to remove the skimmer and clean out the air intake as it is blocked with dried salt. This works about 3 or 4 times and finally the I have to replace the air intake (remove it from an replacement motor) as the process of cleaning out has enlarged the hole. As I have not been able to purchase just the air intake it gets expensive to buy the pump. Anyone have fix that is more permanent or a way to prevent the salt creep in the first place
