17 reviewsSwab the Neck!
This Swabbie option is for existing lid retrofit. Just send us your skimmer lid and we will install the motor housing for you. Turn around is usually about a week from when we receive the lid. When ordering, please add a comment in the box at checkout to alert us that you are sending your lid and when we should expect it. Another option is to request a new lid from your skimmer manufacturer be sent to us, that way you don't have to use a dinner plate on your skimmer until the Swabbies lid returns to you.
Joey from The Coral Reef Talk made a really great video overview of the process:

Excellent Skimmer Neck Cleaner
Excellent..I sent my skimmer lid for a skimmer neck install. They modified their product at my request so I could keep skimmer cup float switch and had it back to me in less then week. (USPS was slow) Works flawlessly!!!
