Skimmer baseline noise

[FUNGI]

Specs? I used 3/4" foam from Walmart and wrapped the skimmer body with good old duct tape and cup. Cup come off if needed.
I will try to get pic's.....

Basically, make a foam cylinder (in blue) a little bigger then your body. It will be like a VERY loose sock

Is such foam water resistant? Cause m'y noise is just below the cup in the mixing Chamber around the water surface

I made a enclosure from acoustic foam and just covered my skimmer body and cup. Noise....90% less.

I tried it with recycled cotton made foam, and sound was indeed attenuated. I will check how it will resist to moisture, but I chose it because it seems to have one of the best noise attenuation, will be not toxic if few strands fall in water, and it was cheap.

Gonna be honest with you.....its pretty much the same foam that canisters use.....just different shape lol.
