    Anyone have an idea on how to make a skimmer silencer.  Not the pump but the air intake.  Mine makes a terrible constant gurgle sound.

    build a muffler for it. A small bottle and a couple lengths of tubing is all it takes.

    My BK had a foam insert in the silencer to help further deaden the noise. I don't know if my ATB has it or not, haven't had to clean it yet.
