I dont know I just barrowed it from my wifes aunt. I dont think it to old, allthough she said she got it from walmart so I called every wallmart around here and they said its old and they dont carry it anymore, so I got on line and found it so if it doesnt start working by tomarrow I'll have to buy it off line or offer her a better one if she wants it right away. I fell sooooo stupid right now.

These are the thing I bought, however, I didnt use the airflow valve. MY mod job works great with out it.



To get the srub pad thin enough I pelled it in layers like this.



Heres a pic of the motor with the mod right off the skimmer.

Heres another pic of the motor with the mod.



Heres a pic of the impellar.



And here is a pic of the mesh on my hat. I think this mesh will be worth a try if your not wanting to cut the blades down. Besides this mesh I think a nylon screen will work you might have to put 2 or 3 layers on to better suck in air and chop the bubbles up.



By the way I bought the pads from walmart for 2.97 I think and the fishline came from walmart for 2 somthing. The air controll valve kit came from petco for 2.99.
