Outside Air for Skimmer

[thatmanMIKEson]

Idk but I think I’m going to try it. If it ends up not being worth it I will just convert the canister to another stage for my rodi or a carbon reactor.

Definitely worth a try !

This was a good picture i found on google and it sparked a few ideas for me this is a very old thread most of the viewers haven't been seen in years. Does anyone else have any pictures and inspirationals they would like to share involving piping outside air to your skimmer and the precautions you took or the methods used. Thanks

I used a large air stone mounted under my deck for the intake.

Have you seen good results doing this? I’ve read and heard mixed reviews on doing this.

I could see flow being restricted without maintenance as the air stone becomes clogged with particles, but im sure placement could make a large difference, its a good idea in the right application.
