Lomart skimmer modify?

[rayh78]

The new one I have does not have the step fitting that has a smaller one can cut off.
The inside of the pipe is only about 1" and I was worried it can not supply enough water to my 1 hp pump.
Wonder why lomart makes thiers a bit smaller than normal.

I would not try to modify it, the very little you might gain would not be worth it.

Filter systems can usually take in more water than they can pump out. A second return is usually the way to increase the flow of the filter.
