I had to run the skimmer with the MBK 1000 a few weeks before I could respond back. The skimmer seems to be working properly all for the exception that I had to close the the water level valve more. In all theory this causes the pump to work harder which can lead to premature failure on $200 plus motor. So the modification on the new gens Mini BK where made to the specs ( impeller/volute) of the the old gens to except a smaller motor block?
