Mesh Needle Wheel Skimmer Mod - Questions

Does the Mesh needle wheel mod work well?

What is it exactly? You just put mesh on the needle wheel impeller?

How does it help?

Please share your experiences with the NWMM.

I did it to my NW110 and it made a big difference in skim. It works by chopping the air into finer bubbles.
