Leave it to Klaus and Co. to take a DIY idea like the mesh wheel and rebuild it to perform at high specifications, like at high RPMs in a Red Dragon pump. Now just by looking at pictures of mesh wheels made for other skimmers below, which one do you think is gonna be running for years and years and which one looks like it is going to be replaced at a regular interval? The three sizes of the monster mesh wheel are available for purchase separately from the RE shop for 36, 45 and 52 euros. There’s no word on future availability in the U.S. but a nice chat with your neighborhood Royal-Exclusiv dealer might result in producing the slice of brillo pad in 4-6 weeks. So is this just supposed to be an add-on? Can we expect to see this mod show up in any upcoming skimmer models? Only time (or comments) will tell us what is up with the metal mesh wheel from Royal-Exclusiv.
