It actually still is "warner marine", when you found out that info, did it affect the performance of your skimmer?

They still have a reputation of being a great quality affordable skimmer.

By the way, that's an interesting first post, which wm skimmer do you run btw?

 

[Letsgotothezoo]

yes, WM imported their skimmers from China.

Like anything else....everything is made in China.

LOL we know this long time ago. WM helps improve it and put their sticker on it. I think there was a link of all the oversea WM skimmers.

John did a great job making it better, but I am getting confused over the model number, new design and etc.

yeap, almost everything made in China. mine skimmer is the AS-150. pretty decent skimmer but the pump kinda noisy.

I doubt K2 made in USA. Must be made in China and change the sticker Made is USA.

Remember, China own the US.:congrats:

Warner Marine makes good quality skimmers at an affordable price. The K2 and all of their cones are made in the USA.

directly from warnermarine.com

100% MADE IN THE USA

1) Highest Quality Cell Cast acrylic, Schedule 80 fittings and CNC machined parts. Exceptional craftsmanship, fully polished edges, perfect glue joints and immaculate assembly make for a beautiful piece of equipment.

2) Easy to use CNC Machined “Spin-Lock” collection cup release. No sticky or leaky O-ring friction necks.

3) Super accurate, super adjustable US Made KBI Gate Valve, much better than a wedge pipe.

4) Quiet and Vibration free, the K-2 rides on rubber feet for optimal noise/vibration isolation.

5) The most elegant and refined use of the Italian made Sicce PSK-2500, custom CNC machined pump platform, union and a special CNC machined venturi. Includes a custom molded, balanced needle wheel impeller. This is the highest performance Sicce PSK-2500 needle wheel in the hobby, generating up to 1100 Liters per Hour of air flow.

6) Collection cup drain pre-installed, standard Air Silencer and .50” O.D.Silicone Air Hose.

Either way...for almost the same price, I would take Vertex Alpha 200 over ATB 840 or WM K2 anyday, anytime. That's just me. :top:

hey, heard BK parts and cone mold are made in China also. almost 75% sure this is a fact. probably the skimmers itself are assembled in UK.
