    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.

    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.
