Do you two know each other??

A Beckett skimmer requires a pressure rated pump to work best. Submersible pumps are not pressure rated, but they do work okay. The pump shoots water into the Beckett injector which draws in air (at whatever rate the pump can draw air) and produces foam in the skimmer body. Sounds simple?? It is. Check out MRC as I have used their products relentlessly for the past 8 years or so. Recently I purchased a non-Beckett skimmer and will see how it compares.

Google the word "becektt 1408) and it should get you close. Or go to myreefcreations.com and see his injector units.
