does anyone have the gauge that measures the amount of air your skimmer pump is pulling? cant remember the name of it, but would like to test some different pumps with the mesh mod for a DIY skimmer.

Thanks.

You're looking for a Dwyer air flow meter.

I was about to buy one of these but decided to hold off on the DIY for now. Someone was selling one with a kill-a-watt for $50 shipped a few days ago, and I just missed it. But I did get a kill-a-watt (if you're interested in measuring the power draw).

I also have some P4 mesh if you need some.

thanks for the link Jacob.
those meters are lot more reasonable than i expected, will have to consider getting one. although cant imagine any other uses for it.
already got my mesh from mavgi, thanks anyway. I think auntbeez wanted to try some though.
