Thanks for the links, I noticed no gate valve for the output. How would you ajust the levels?

[CruzinKim]

The top of the exhaust turns. When the white dots line up, the exhaust is fully open and as your separate the white dots, the exhaust restricts and the waterlevel goes up within the skimmer.

Thanks for the Info :) I am starting to like this skimmer and what users are saying....I just hope it will fit in my current skimmer place.

If the footprint L x W doesn't fit your sump, not much you can do. If the skimmer's too tall, you can special order a custom shorten version. There's nothing to not like about the skimmer, except it's a little pricey.

The best skimmer I used to date, you'll be happy with your purchase. Since you're concerned with the footprint, make sure you measure and compare to the specs.

Pump: AquaBee 2001/38w
Diameter: 6"
Height: 26"
Footprint: 7"x16"
Intake: 5/8"
Output: 1 1/4"

If you need shorter than 26", then contact KM Associates Int'l as they always have the shorter versions available.

Here is a few pics of my new H&S A150 in action. This is about 48hrs after plugging it in. No buyers remorse so far :D
