Just wanted to post a review of this coalescer and how it works on the SMM2. Finding a skimmer to work on the SMM2 is tough because the sump is so shallow and the only access is from the side of the sump. In searching for skimmers I came across coalescers. Most are pretty expensive. This one was reasonably priced and so I thought I'd give it a try.
I originally ordered it with the Hammerhead skimmer. If you get one of these coalescers, stay away from the Hammerhead skimmer. It's very finicky particularly in a shallow sump. Because it sits on the surface it tends to take in air. The pump they supply will not purge itself of the air and will constantly cavitate. It also uses a ribbed hose. Any floating aluminum chips will stick inside the ribbed hose and clog it up in very short order.
I called the company and told them about the problems I was having. They were extremely responsive and helpful however the hammerhead just wasn't getting it done. I ordered the sumpster skimmer to replace the hammerhead. Just got it installed this morning. This thing works and works well.
If you have a swimming pool it works on the same principle as your pool skimmer. The coolant is sucked in through the bottom so no air can ever get trapped in the hose. Getting all the air out of the hose initially is a trick but once I got the air out it works like a champ. It comes with a chip screen that has approximately 1/8" holes cut in it. There was enough room behind the screen for me to slip in a piece of floss filter material just for a little extra protection.
In addition it adds 15 gallons to the capacity of the sump. Going from 24 to 39 gallons might be of some benefit. I just let it run constantly so it's always filtering the coolant. It also has an air stone in it so that the coolant is constantly aerated.
For the record, I have no affiliation with this company. Just thought some of you might find this info useful.
