My skimmer BROKE LOOSE!
Oh yea, finally a skimmer that works. date line.......3:46pm while on surveillance I witnessed the so called DELTEC skimmer creating what I can only describe as foam. Yes a delightful frothy film that some call (skimate), as I approached the device that crates a delicacy that tantalizes the soul and mesmerizes the mind, I lifted the cup and filled my body with that sweet smell. At that moment I new what I had found.....satisfaction.

I was wondering too, do all these deltecs just plug and skim like yours and mine? What's wrong with em...don't they know we are supposed to spend extra money and time "modding" our skimmers before they are able to foam and pull out crap? What am I supposed to do with this gate valve I thought I was gonna need? Maybe I'll sell it off to one of the other skimmer owners. lol J/K
 Maui... nice, have fun.
