Skimmer extension tubes

[lilrobb]

...when using them, do I need to extend the beckett tubes too?

I believe the answer is yes... (otherwise your waterlevel inside the "tube" will be higher than the air inlet on the beckett and then water will come out your air inlet..)

I believe....


(I've seen modifications to the air injectors (beckett housing) that are nothing more than 1" pvc with a threaded male adapter at the bottom and a threadxthread union at the top.)

Depends on how high up you have the water rise in the chamber. I have a MR2 with an extension on it but have not extended the becketts. I haven't had an issue with water coming out of the air intakes, as I try to keep the water level in the chamber to at most 6".

The pump is pushing down in the becketts anyway - if there would get water out of them I'd need a new/better pump... LOL

raising the injectors will help in case of a power outage. Operationally, it shouldn't make a difference.
