So smart!!!

[@ericbower2256]

So this is like water level "independent", NICE

[@kennnnnethchua]

So it will adjust to the level of the water? How is the skimmer floating and not sinking?

[@kenr4676]

Sir is the bottom portion has holes in it?

[@nigelwest7852]

At 1:12 your pond skimmer is oscillating (bouncing up and down). Then in the next shot it works fine. How did you fix it?

[@Thedonsmoney25823]

It was probably priming the pump
