I have a BK Mini-180 skimmer for sale. It includes an Avast Marine Swabbie head cleaner installed. I believe the skimmer is a gen 1 version, so it has a few years on it. The swabbie is only a couple years old with a relatively new wiping arm. It all works well and cleaned up nicely.

At some point someone did a repair job on the lid. See pictures below. Although the under side of the lid doesn't look great, it does not impact the performance. It really just looks dirty but it just came out of a vinegar bath! Same goes for the small chip in the collection cup you'll see in a picture. It doesn't effect performance and doesn't leak. I'm only mentioning in the spirit of full disclosure.

I'm asking $375 for the package delivered to your door assuming you are in the CONUS. Can't separate the swabbie as I tapped the original lid to install it - so they come together. I also have this listed locally.

PM with questions please.

How old is the skimmer??

To be honest, I'm not sure of its exact age. I bought it a couple of years ago used, but didn't start using it until May of last year. It was at least several years old when I got it is my guess. Before I put it in to service, I had it gone through and put new gaskets and checked out thoroughly. It was still running great when I took it out of service a couple weeks ago.

Does the swabbie work on a timer?

I used it with my Apex and ran it once a day for a few minutes. It could easily run on any simple plug timer without a controller though.
