Cleaning my HOB Eshopps skimmer today, I bumped this deflector piece that sits above the outlet pipe and it popped off. Definitely no way I'm getting it back on there.. Should I be concerned? TIA!

Do you think you could reattach it with Weldon?

I'm not sure on that - looks like trying to build a boat in a bottle.. I'll take more of a look today and get a note out to Eshopps as well to see what they think on any operational effects to run without..

I don’t have a HOB but it looks like that’s just a deflector to prevent micro bubbles exiting. You should be ok without it if you can’t glue it back. Only way to find out…run it. Haha

Appreciate the replies! I'll have to see about sourcing some Weld-On up here, I do have a myriad of glues around somewhere though.. We're in the middle of moving now, livestock in totes for 6 days - ready to get this tank back up and running!
