I have always had a problem with skimmate foam coming out of the vent holes on the top of my skimmer. So much that after a while the holes would clog with dried foam. I had an idea to to use misters to clean the out the skimmer cup so that the holes would not clog.
Here is the progression of my idea.
Looking for any additional suggestions or ideas.
Thanks,
