Time how long it takes to fill one gallon. A bit of a pain, but accurate if done correctly. For skimmers, usually the eye ball method will work just fine. Play with the different flow rates until you find the optimum setting... rarely there is one best GPH input rate. The performance will depend on many other factors. HTH. Hey Brandon,

I can't wait to see how it is doing after a few weeks. I thought about adding a T to my return when I was running an external skimmer, but couldn't figure out how to measure how much flow I was actually feeding it. Is their a niffty way of measuring that other than eyeballing it? Looking good. I can’t wait to see how it is doing after a few weeks.
