I used this skimmer on my 220 for about two years. Skimmer body is in good shape (see photo) I did replace the skimmer cup drain nipple with a barbed one to better fit my drain tubing (see photo) I replaced this skimmer with a Tunze 9430DC because I wanted a DC controllable skimmer. Toward the end of use the pump would sometimes not restart after stopping without tapping or blowing air into venturi. After dissembling and inspecting it, I believe the pump impeller should be replaced. The pump motor is working fine. It will continue to run non stop when running but doesn't always re-start after stopping. I'd prefer local pick-up. I'm located on the southwest side of Chicago within a few miles of I-294, I-57 & I80. I'm asking $180 firm.

Skimmer Specifications:
  • Body Diameter: 8"
  • Neck Size: 4.5"
