hoping to get a underwater unit soon, trying to make up my mind. in the mean time I kown I needed a scoop an didn't want too spend 75-100 bucks on 1 so I think will get the job done.I got about $8 in it. I had some scrap stainless steel laying around an the can I bought at wal-mart $4.98 stainless steel its 5" across an 6 1/2" long. the handle is galvanized pipe.its bolted on so if it goes bad in a year or so I can replace it.
