just wondering if anyone had any information on these older diablo skimmers? been searching for weeks and i see xs-160 but only xs-17 that popped up was an old fs post here on r2r. basically im trying to find information on gallon ratings, pump requirement and other tech specs. ive seen it is a 6.5" body, it is a 7" body, has a 4" collection cup. the only "170" i found ( not on coralvues site) was a DCS-170 which came with a diablo 3500s pump ( which was apparently made by jebao LOL) which was discontinued and replaced with an rodc 3500s which is now also discontinued and coralvue is trying to tell me the skimmer requires a varios DC-4s pump ( which im callign BS on because the original diablo pump and the rodc 3500s were both closer to the varios DC-2s.
anyway any information would be appreciated as there isnt much information online about diablo skimmers. closest i could come was from aquanerd which had the following tidbids prior to or just after launch of the skimmer:
anyway, any insight on the diablo 170 ( dont know if it was xs-170 or DCS-170 as the only "170" diablo skimmers i have seen have been called both xs- and dcs 170 LOL.
