on them skimmers they have a screw on collection cup,what i do is adjust it by the grey dial till the water is just above the grey threaded nut bit on the cup,which means its skimming more effecient

we have been put of buying the V2-800 by all our local shops saying they dont work ,and going buy the amount of them you see secondhand and only a couple of months old maybe thats why. that said there is one on here for £45 we know the guy selling it it would have been well looked after.
