Hi,

I did a very nice skimmer but i would like to improve it with a beckett valve, but i live in Brazil and thereÂ´s no supliers here.

Does somebody knows some e-mail adress of beckett suplier in USA?

Thanks a lot, sorry about english.

Hi there...I just picked one up from Home Depot which dosen't help you but if you go to beckettpumps.com they might be able to find you a retailer in your area. If there are no retailers see if they
would sell to you directly.They wholesale in packages of 6.

Unforunately Beckett will only sell to you if you purchase $2500 worht of merchandise at a time. Quite an expensive skimmer....if you only need one #1408. On www.beckettpumps.com they do list retailers. Good luck.

I am planning on building a PSA w/ Beckett Valve.

Look at Oz reef for DIY PSA skimmers

Hi ken ..I'm not sure what type of skimmer I'm going to tackle .
I built a large airstone type skimmer a number of years ago that worked well for a while.I have looked at some plans for various downdraft type skimmers and this is why I picked up the beckett head. If you have some plans you could share with me that would be great!

here are the links that I have found for a down draft and/or a PSA (beckett) skimmer. I started here at Oz Reef:

and went to these sites from there:

Good luck.
