Its kinda hard to tell just by looking at it, but the skimmer looks fine . you might want a way to vary the height of the inlet pvc pipe. That will allow you to adjust the water level in the riser chamber and fine tune it.

I believe the ball valve is there for just that purpose.
I guess my major concern is the ball valve. It should be a gate valve instead. A gate valve allows fine adjustment which is what an ETS Skimmer requires, even if it's just a copy.

Very good! Mark's right, I think in the long run you'll be happier with a gate valve on your skimmer outlet.

Good work!

Your topic asks what everyone thinks of this. Do you really want to hear from everyone, Or are you just seeking a pat on the back?
