    Default Quick!! ATI BubbleBlaster 250, Good skimmer?

    I've got a line on one of these and the guy will let me try it first before I buy. Are these good skimmers?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    I have the 200 that has been running for a couple of years and love it. The only issue i have had was when restarting after a standby from my rke, it doesn't always start back up.

    Thanks for the replies, Folks! I'm going tomorrow to pick it up in Sterling Heights. I saw two videos of this one working and it looked good. Plus he'll run it when I get there. Does have a crack in the gate valve assembly that he said he fixed with Weldon 16. That makes me nervous.

    Again, thanks!

    I am a knucklehead. It's the Bubble Master from ATI. I picked it up today and after reading about all the complaints folks say about the restart on the meshwheel, I ordered two red devil impellers. Supposed to chop up more air and start reliably.

    LOL, I'm gettin' old fast.

    Quick Edit: Wow is this thing putting out the foam! Amazing amount for 40w. I'm using 400w to run my etss, so I'll let you guys know if it puts out the same quantity of skim. That would be great.
