Mesh Mod

[Cash]

I am gonna try the mesh mod on my skimmer pump and was wondering if there is any where local to get the mesh Also whats the best to use?
Thanks

Im pretty sure you can get the mesh at home depot or lowes. Gutter section. What type of skimmer pump? I have the mesh mod done to my sicce pump on my bubblemaster and im not satisfied with it.

The pump is a Odyssea 500 needle wheel pump. I will check at HD tomorrow
Thanks

Ok so HD was a strike out. Almost all the gutter guard material was large opening material with a screen on it. Anyone have some of this local to Warren before I order it online?
Thanks

Be carefull with that pump as they are a pain to meshmod. The intake is really small as well as the nw impeller. If you do it right with flatback mesh you can generally draw around 10scfh with that pump. The small intake is what holds back the performance on that pump. If you mesh to aggressive it will cause the pump to have startup problems.

Cash - how did you come out on this? Did you notice an improvement?

[Cash]

I did notice an improvement after I did the mod. But I have since upgraded to a better skimmer and pump.

You need more encmat for the new pump?? I got some, and could send it in the mail, if you need it.
