Do you like this skimmer? How quiet is it? Is it set and forget and needs adjustments?

I have the 160 and i wouldn't consider myself the biggest fan of it. Maybe user error but seems like i always have issues. I could never get it to produce foam/ big bubbles for the first 4-5 months. Then one day it just started working. The main water tube area water will get past the stopper thing and that throws it off. After you turn skimmer off it sometimes has a hard time turning back on. you have to disconnect the airline and blow into it.

I am coming up on completing my 1st year with my system and ive had the 120 since the start. In the beginning I got frustrated with it because it seemed to overflow no matter what I did (now I know that's just what new skimmers do in new systems - at the time I was at a loss). But, after a few days it settled down and its worked like a champ all year since. Ive literally just emptied it about once a week or so and thats it. I havent even taken it out for its first cleaning yet and it still works like it did the first day after break-in (tho it could use a good cleaning lol). I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again...but then again, ive never owned or experienced another brand either. Hope this helps!
