Hey guys, I have been thinking of getting a skimmer neck cleaner (Avast Swabbie) for my Aerofoamer. Has anyone tried one before? I would normally say it's for pretty lazy people but I have to loosen 8 thumb screws to take off the lid and 8 screws to take off the collection cup on this skimmer. Sometimes by the time I take it all apart and put it back together my fingers are sore from all the loosening and tightening. I also have to tighten them pretty tight because if I don't the O-ring leaks. The leaking isn't a big deal though since I moved it to my sump.The skimmer gets quite a bit of skimmate out the day I clean it but not much after that until I clean it again. It just builds up a huge amount of gunk on the sides of the neck.
Here is a picture of the skimmer to give you an idea of the size of it. It's next to an EV180.
