We get the carbon filters that they sell for the tops of cat litter boxes, and put that across the vent holes of the collection cup. Works great.

Sweet skimmer doog, very happy. Curious how much my electric bill will go up due to the new pump?

 

[doog]

excellent

i am glad it is working out well

trying to figure out what i am going to go with now and i can not make up my mind

 

[doog]

electric

not really sure my usual electric bill is 300 without tank running for 3 months or so coming up very cvurious on how much it will drop

 

[customclimates]

I am sure it will be interesting…1.2 amps 110V on old pump 290 watts on the new! In my case I know it will not be drastic, just curious. Yours on the other hand I am sure will reflect quite a difference.

how about cleaning it just before company shows up?

Scott...Carbon works well . Hope your electric bill is lower than mine at an average of 400 a month

 

[customclimates]

It only really smells if it is producing a ton of nog. If it is just simmering there is no smell at all?

Has anyone made something for the top of there collection cup or just made retail purchases?

 

[Dave McReeferson]

Someone had asked about this before and Greg H recommended throwing a little Kalk in the cup, this brings the PH in the cup to a level unfriendly to the bacteria that produce that wonderful smell. I have tried this and it seems to work to some degree though it does not completely eliminate the odor...

Thanks Dave,
I do remember reading something on this as well & it was not that long ago. I could not find the thread.
