Skimmer swabbie neck cleaner

Wondering if is worth having one on my Reef Octopus Elite 150 Int skimmer.
If so I might make one myself.
Anyone still using one ?

Thoughts ?

I use the Octo 200 on my ATB. Brilliant piece of kit and very quiet. Would not have a skimmer without one.

We run the XXL at work on a giant Reef Octopus SRO-9000. It’s reliable, and keeps the skimmer neck nice and clean. Make sure you mount it DEAD CENTER on your skimmer lid (or have them do it for you). We have it connected to an Apex and it runs a couple times per day.
