Anyone ever try putting a needlewheel pump on an AQua C skimmer ?????

Thats a crazy idea, are you going to try it? I would think it would defeat the purpose of the injector.

Might try it, dumber things have worked. I got one only takes five minutes.

needlewheels are not ment for strong head pressure so by using one with the injection style skimmer it will most likely do nothing for you. Just stick with a high volocity pump.
