Re: MTC HSA-250 Protein Skimmer, RK2
sourcing...
The problem is that you cannot take apart the base section. You can
only break down the header section, above the main cylinder. They have
to models of the HAS-250. One of them appears to have bolts at the
base,
<Ah, yes... the white, plastic bits shown... a pain to get all put
back evenly...>
but my unit does not. How could MTC design a skimmer that cannot be
cleaned?
<Poor engineering, design... Look to superlative brands... e.g. the
new RK2 line... so well thought out that all comes apart for
"field repairs" w/o tools... Very well thought out. If it
were me/mine, I'd sell this turkey and get a better unit. Much
cheaper in the long haul in terms of cost per function... the
pump/electrical cost... is much more a consideration than the unit
itself. Cheers just the same, BobF>

Can you point me at any vendors for this?
<? Can be easily done with a search tool... I see Dr.s Foster and
Smith, Custom Aquatic... and others offer these>
Also, can you suggest a price range I should look for with this RK2?
Does it have an external collection container?
<... Don't know re pricing... and yes to the cup... B>
Thanks,
Howard
