I-Tech Skimmer Club .
I recently purchased an I-Tech Skimmer , and man what an awesome skimmer it is . I got the XL model , with the Dart Gold Needle Wheel . This thing out performs anything I have seen first hand , and I have seen a lot of skimmers up close over the years . I know there are several others out there , that now owen I-Tech skimmers , so I started this thread . I love my I-Tech skimmer .

Here are some pics of one of their smaller models I got to check out , while me XL was being built . This is less than a day , and a half on my lightly stocked 225 . These things are killer .
This is shortly after I cleaned the cup .

Can you post, if you have them, dimensions on the various sizes, and also what pump? If you have air draw numbers on the pumps that'd be fantastic too! Thanks.

I got the size already , thanks enjoy it
Mine are big to and as you can see big or not they skim so i don't think that the rate size correct on all the skimmers in the market... IMO it's just rating that company put for their product... |
