Hey guys I have a MTC built, HSA 1000 skimmer that is an absolute pain in the %&$ to clean because it sits up so high. Not only is it hard to reach down inside the neck, but the top cover is hard to get off because the gasket material tends to stick itself to the underside of the lid.:headwallblue:

Would it be possible for me to cut the top riser neck and glue a quick release union? I see its being done on the newer models but I am not sure if my skimmer material is compatible with the PVC union. Would I use PVC cement or Weldon???????????? Thanks guys for the help! Here's a pic of the skimmer
