i drilled a hole on the male thread and put this adaptor. the slit faced the impeller and not the way im showing it
the bit on the left is what i used to drill the hole
i dont know if you can see in this picture, but before you could see what im thinking is the water line all the way up in the cup. the foam would never rise if i had it low in the skimmer neck. now, with the mods, the riser tube is set really low and the foam is definitely getting up higher without a problem. i dont have pics of what i did to the elbow or the mesh mod, but those were pretty easy to do
