well what good does say 500lph do with such a tiny neck? if it truly does inject that amount of air, the large bubbles+much tiny neck is going to make it only skim water like we've seen. not only is the neck too small, but the body is too for the amount of turbulence and the amount of air.

again, no one has every used their old hob skimmer either. i have only read you commenting on it. as for why would they make a worse model...ask most car designers that

I hear ya man, it is a tiny neck.....we'll just have to wait and see....or you'll see me beating it with a bat after i waste my money on it if it sucks......but i still think it'll be the best hot skimmer out there....yet to be determined!
