Hello Roger,

I bought a Tunze 9001 around years ago when they first came out.

I find the plastic magnet that attaches to the skimmer continually falls off. I think the prongs are just not quite right. Not sure if there was a known issue.

Has been held on previously using a zip tie through the magnet. Recently cleaned the skimmer, and used a rubber band which failed the other day.

Tempted to superglue the magnet to the skimmer to stop this from happening. Not sure what the deal is. I am not using the spacer thing that is in the box. The prongs look similiar.

Still an issue with microbubbles. The skimmer was pulling decent skim recently, but has a tendency to foam up behind the cup.

Oh well, just wanted to pass on the 'feedback' before trying superglue.

Anthony.
