Hi all.
So I fitted my skimmer waste to an old 1L dosing pump box with a float switch. Then I fitted a float sensor and a GHL maxi pump.
When triggered it pumps for 30 seconds.
I have soft tubing on the inlet for the maxi pump then hard RODI push fit tubing on the exit which goes for about 8 feet (2 meters) through my plasterboard dry wall and down the drain.
When it’s working, the skimmer empties itself.
But it gets gunky from time to time. It’s never blocked (I think the pumping pressure keeps that risk to a minimum) but how do I clean it?
How would you clean skimmer waste gunk from an RODI water line? I can’t mechanically scrub it, would soapy water do the trick or citric acid?
