Noisy bakpak skimmers!

Fewer bubbles

Rate this Entry
After the bakpak has been up and running for a few days the micro bubbles have really cleared up. I am still having the noisy problem when running the skimmers though.

    Bakpaks are noisy, there's not much you can do about it. Using an intake with a silencer for the air can help, but tends to get plugged up a lot.

    Also, the way the cup sits on the skimmer may allow some sound to get out.

    I think most of the sound is coming from the skimmer cups. It is as quiet as a can filter without the skimmers running. I may utilize the bakpak for filtration as it does a good job and switch to a Remora for skimming. Thanks for the responses.
