I'm a paying member as well : ). I went all in with the 300, the Avast Swabbie, and the Davy Jones Skimmate locker. I am a happy member...
 
Love the Swabbie - great product! Avast does a phenomenal job with these. And the skimmate locker (also from Avast) decreases my skimmer maintenance by at least 50-60%. I empty the locker once per week (or 10 days). And the Swabbie keeps the head clean for 2 weeks at a time. I used to have to clean the skimmer head at least once per week (if not more) to keep it running at peak efficiency. These were 2 fairly inexpensive upgrades to the skimmer and 2 of the best purchases I have made for my system.
 
lol...they are definitely worth it. I have my Swabbie and locker hooked up to my Apex. When the locker fills up, it cuts off the skimmer and sends me a text to empty the locker. I also have it so my Swabbie is on for 60 second intervals - 8 times per day. Of course, you can also hook the Swabbie up to a simple timer to accomplish the same thing. You won't regret the purchases.
