I believe that there is a new model 9440 up for sale right now on the used forum. Make sure to buy the new generation.

seems pretty pricey for what it is. i would look into something like the hurricone skimmers, or msx 1a, atb cone. the design has been around for a long time now and i think there are better designs avail for a better price now. i am sure that it works just fine though

I own one and have the newest generation SILENCE pumps on it. It is in fact, a great skimmer. Whisper quiet in my living room. Powerheads are easy enough to service and yes, Roger makes the service issue top mark and without reproach.

Build quality is excellent. Definitely recommend.

So I don't get what you are saying here...seems pretty pricey for what it is. How is this skimmer pricey? It is german made and imported...I think it is alot of skimmerfor the money. Look into some of the other top german skimmers w/ lesser customer service. hurricone or msx???what is that? I have'nt ever run one so I will keep my thoughts to myself.

I assure you a comparably sized ATB is going to be more money.

Have you ever run this skimmer? Do you know how quiet they are? Do you know how little of wattage they pull vs air intake? Surely you must of run this skimmer w/ such a opinion??

But then this quote kills me...the design been around for a long time now and i think there are better designs avail for a better price now. Maybe you can show us where others are using this design of body.

I can assure you Tunze does not copy anything. They design their equipt. and stand behind it 100%. Don't you think that is worth something.

Sorry for the rant....
