I have a DNW-200-6540 skimmer that I recently bought used.
I'm needing to get info on the tubing that i'll need to get it back up and running. I need the sizes or part numbers for the the inlet to the pump and the gate valve side. I don't have anything except for the unions coming off the skimmer body. Any help is appreciated.
Also is there a pump besides the OTP-3000 that I can put on this?
Thanks!

Nathan,
Thank you for reaching out to us on this support portal.
I am not pulling anything up in our system that has relation to the numbers you provided above DNW-200-6540 So I do not know what we are supposed to be talking about here.
Can you please give me the model skimmer including brand that you bought used ??
Sincerely Michael

Nathan,
The skimmer in the link you provided is and has been discontinued for several years along with the pump.
There is nothing in our system for this unit and the numbers DNW-200 shows nothing in our system.
I remember that skimmer so maybe I can help you in some way from going off of memory.
What is it that you are needing ?
Just the size soft line that slips over the barb fittings for the inlet and outlet ?
If that pump is bad there is no replacement for it that I am aware of showing in our computer or new style that would work with this unit.
Sincerley Michael

Nathan,
This is going to be something that ''hopefully'' is archived on someones computer with descriptions of the unions, fittings and pipe sizes. It is highly unlikely but I will check around for you.
Unfortunately there is no going off of memory with this skimmer for anyone to even tell if it was Metric or standard PVC fittings / pipe used to complete this system.
You may want to take the skimmer to a local hardware store and see if they can offer any help in determining what size you need.
The other battle is going to be routing the plumbing as it was intended to work with needed dimensions.
One last thing is going to be the pump if it is not working you are pretty much dead in the water unless you can locate a pump online that someone is selling on Ebay.
Unfortunately this skimmer has not been in production or in our possession for 10 years or more.
None the less on tuesday when my techs get back in from the Christmas holiday I will pick their brains to see if I can come up with any information to help you.
