Nice write-up. Thanks for the review. Did the Coca-Cola also come with it? Seems like a poor way to advertise. ((grin))
To get dryer skimmate, lower the water level in the skimmer about 1" and leave it alone. You'll get less skimmate in the cup, and crud will form in the neck. If you have to pour out watery skimmate often, keep an eye on salinity. Your top off will replenish all that lost water and salinity can gradually drop in the tank. Thanks for the review.
i run the nac 7 and am running it at around 5". i had it in deeper but was really getting wet skimmate, and was running it at 5. mow i'm at 2, pulling a full cup in 3 days and seems alot drier. watch the meshwheel, one of mine decided to come apart for no reason. make sure you have a spare. it is a good investment.
I have one of those. One day after feeding pump just did not want to start. Good blow to air tube helps it to start. But I could not find any permanent fix for that. I guess new pump would fix it.
take the pump out and run it in a water/vinegar solution for a few hours and then take it apart and clean it.
I tried everything including days in vinegar
Maybe you need a new impeller, some of the pumps use a cheaper magnet for the impeller. The pump is fine as once you get the impeller moving the motor on the pump takes over.
