Well it will be interesting to find out who's behind it. If it's a small manufacturer in the USA, I could understand why maybe they don't have money for a slick video. It cost thousands just to bring something to market and sometimes the money is starting run out before you can get it on the shelves!

I do not know about everyone else but one of the first things I look at is gal/hr of water processed vs liters/hour of air. This is one of the few ways to compare skimmers with out testing them out for a week or so on your own system.
In addition I would like it if they published the dims of the unit, and reaction chamber volume.
Finally I am curious what happens if your hand is not on the top when the unit starts up and fires that column of water up.

It's rated for 2500L which is around 660 Gal.
Air is drawn in by the gal p/hr, to me the air line is 1/4" which is what you see on most skimmers if I'm not wrong.
I ask the same question and the contact time before the protein will be removed from the water.
I always knew that the longer the contact time the faster you remove it from the water.

I would also like to know what happens when your hand is not there. For instance a power outage & the power comes back on.

Just got a reply back on why you need to hold down the top.
Here's the reply, Quote)"Holding down the top is just to purge the air out the inner tube Alex is pointing too during initial startup. You don't need to hold the top down again unless you remove the skimmer from the sump tank." that makes sense to me.

My very first thought was, look, @loumaggs at it again with another one of her informative videos! But once she spoke without the British accent, I knew it wasn't her.

It does look very interesting. I do think it has some very interesting attributes....but the one thing I'd need to know before even considering a purchase.......Does it skim? And, how well? No mention of tank size and bioload levels.

I do have a similar hair style and the same jumper... :)
