Is My Skimmer Defective?: Investigating a Small Hole

[Jennie4PC]

I just recieved my skimmer and it has a small hole in the middle is it supposed to have it there? or is mine defective?

Mine was the same way so I sent it back -- they replaced it with another with the same exact hole. I guess that's how they're made.

i had to look but mine has one too.

Nope, I don't think it should have a hole.
I would call HO.

I just looked and mine is mesh all throughout... no hole in the middle.

 

[jnell232]

mine has a hole in the middle too.

 

[finley1991]

does that mean that mine is defective?

 

[chefann]

I haven't looked at mine.

But I'm such a smart-alec that I almost posted that "It's MESH! There are supposed to be holes!" Aren't you proud that I restrained myself?

Not to open up a can of worms or anything... but did yall notice, there is a skimmer listed on E-Bay? Also lots of the new pizza cutters and other items which are new and not abailable yet? :grumpy:

No hole in mine (well other then the ones in the mesh ). Get them adjusted! The picture in the catalog does not show a hole either.

 

[Kodeysmom]

its a very small hole, just a tad bit bigger than the mesh hole and it is right in the middle.

I looked up the other items that person is selling and it's as though she bought a sample package and is selling the stuff she doesn't want.

Isn't this against PC rules/regulations?

I heard somewhere that if you a DS consultant of any kind it is "illegal" to sell any of your products on online auctions. Whether or not that is true I don't know but I am sure it is probably against PC rules

 

[BethCooks4U]

It is definitely against PC policy.

I just got this off of the PC website

Report them to HO.

My skimmer has a hole in it also...but, since I keep it in my kit, I didn't bother doing an adjustment.

Mine has a hole in it too. I just got mine today and noticed it. It's not big, it's just slightly bigger than the rest of the holes.

I didn't notice this on mine when I opened it, but I just had to check it out since I saw this thread, and YES, mine has a tiny "hole" in the middle, too.

It's like when your tennis racquet strings are out of alignment and you have to pull them with your fingertips to get back in alignment, right? I tried doing that with my fingernails (what little I have) and there is no "hole" anymore. Maybe there is a tiny little "poker" that holds the mesh screen in place when the plastic is being molded around it in the factory, and that's how it happens. It doesn't really look like a defect to me, more like a mesh space that is more open than the others.

I would definitely mention it to HO, though, since there could be more quality efforts by the manufacturer to make sure that "hole" is not there before the items are shipped to our customers!
