    OK I found another site that had this pic and it looks different than the first. Both say they are bullet 2.

    Water goes in the Becket injector (piece where red tube is) and outgoing water comes out the white fitting on the side. You just had it backwards in earlier post.

    i agree with otty

    side note i have this predjudice against skimmers that arent completely transparent all the way up. i think they make them a solid color so you can't see how bad it performs. but i have no expierence with bullets(the skimmers not the projectiles).

    The reason the bottom is colored and not transparent are these are out of sump models. They have some in sump models that you can see all the way through.

    I have never heard one bad word about the bullet skimmer. It is highly recommended and I know I will be pleased.

    wrong. What you thing is the inlet is the outlet. the 90 dgree beckett injector the sits on tht top of the water box is the inlet. probally need at least mag 5 possible 7. Depends on size

    Mag 24? Jeez. Well, on second thought.....it does recommend a Mag 18 doesn't it? Yeah, that would be a good idea. Just place a ball valve to control flow to the skimmer in case it is a little much. I had to do that with mine. I run a Mag 9.5 and it really needs only about 800GPH.

    You are really going to like that skimmer.
