Designed and printed a twin blade manual neck cleaner for my Deltec 400i skimmer

Works like a charm, i am going to design an automatic motorised version too.

These will be available to buy in other colours too (im based in the UK)

What im also going to offer again likely for UK based people is a free one *manual version only , all you need to do is send me your skimmer cup so i can ensure good fitment, i reckon i need it for around a week, then ill have the sizes/design to sell future ones, so you get a free neck cleaner and i get the sizes for various brands and models of skimmers.



If anyone is interested in this please message me.



Thanks

When you have a neck cleaner it makes sense to have a drain for the cup, the whole purpose of the neck cleaner means minimal skimmer cup removal.

The deltec 400i doesnt have a drain, its also a bit tight on space, 3d printer and a bit of cad work and we have a low profile angled adapter with nut to take an 8mm silicone hose
