I just received my A250 29" skimmer today. I had ordered it to replace a CS12-2 ER skimmer that was leaking from a uniseal - I just didn't trust uniseals after that, as my application isn't tolerant of leaks. I was concerned about replacing a 12' dia skimmer with a smaller one (10"), but H&S (and Deltec) users told me I wouldn't be disappointed.
The build quality is awesome - either the previous photos don't do it justice or their quality is getting better ( and I was impressed by previous photos). I have to wait for a week to install it because I'll be out of town next week, but I have it running with a vinegar/water solution to help break it in, and it pulls at least twice the air that the ER did. That's no exageration, and the ER is a good skimmer. It was hard to justify that much money for a skimmer, but I am certainly glad that I did! I'll post pictures when I get it installed next week.
