My skimmer is splashing. How do I quiet the water coming out.Its dropping 2" . Can I add a elbow down into water.

 

[reeferman]

yes

Don't add an elbow it restricts the output. Use a piece of flex line to drop down into the sump at a shorter angle

How about a.T fitting, That way it still gets air and is directed down.

Is this what I need.

No just some spa tubing

That will take if it. Or you can build your own out of pvc. It takes a little time and effort. However, it's easy to do. .

A 1 1/4 inch t pvc fit perfectly into the output. Just stick another 1 1/4 pvc on up side and downside of that t so it will go down below water level ( to stop the splashing). Just make sure that tge output is right there above the water line and the output points to the next chamber. Skimmer works better that way. U don't have to glue it in or anything too

I have one on mine. No issues. It is metric.

Made one in 15 minutes. $6.00
Super silent. Works great.Mine came with adapter to metric to 1.5 standard pvc

I'm glad you got it figured out James.

Thanks ,Brett.

i have a 90 on my output also,doesnt restrict it in the least.

Thanks Reggie. I m very puzzled why Coralvue don't supply an elbow or the kit that cost 40.00. Its not like it's a new problem. Been going on for yrs.I know its an easy fix.Just add it in with the product.
