Hello Eshopps skimmer lovers!
As promised I would post a review on this fabulous budget conscious skimmer. I received it from Premium Aquatics.The PSK-100 is a solid performer in its price and applications range. One of the little hitches is sometimes the ViaAqua meshwheel pump may stumble a bit when starting up, i guess due to the mesh impeller being a little imbalanced and, but don't let that scare you, it works!
Anyhoot a review thread is of little value without pics, so lets getting rolling!
Layout of the pieces ready for assembly. The holder for the water level control stems had broken in shipping but nothing a little weld-on couldn't fix :D
