And what went wrong with it? If I have the right one, I’ll send it to you for free. I don’t need it and if you do, then it’s not sitting in my closet being unused.

welllllll. two things, the pump trashed and the air line began to weaken.

weaken in the sense that it began to just slide right out whenever skimmer was running.
