I cleaned the cup on Tuesday when I built a small stand to raide the skimmer in my sump. Here is what it has produced in the last 4 day

Hey Bob, so far, I am very impressed with the skimmer. From the quality of the build, the ease of tuning it in, to how quiet and efficient it is; I could go on and on as you well know
