@ Xxxangeloxxx hey that statement you made is incorrect the skimmer neck is just as important to be cleaned as the cup is, when you first learn about a skimmers operation you should have learned this , not trying to bash you or put u down that's not me just trying to through some knowledge at you lol

By not cleaning the next is backwards from what u said , not cleaning the neck will cause the skimmer to work a lot less poorly as for cleaning the neck and the cup "NOT LETING EITHER HAVE A CHANCE TO GET DIRTY" will cause the skimmer to run at its best performance

Angelo, did you talk to the woman at Drs. Fosters & Smith.lol Going back quite a few years this woman at Drs. F & S insisted that one should never clean the neck of the skimmers cause it would slow the skimmer down.
God I'm thankful for places like RC & MR with lots of info to correct all the nonsense out there.;)
Anyway, clean the neck of the skimmer, and the collection cup when ever you empty the collection cup.;) Especially if it has accumulated a thick coating of muck on it.
Besides, how else are you going to see where the foam is at?:)

Saltwaterinbrooklyn, play nice.
