Good afternoon all,
I just installed the AquaMaxx HOB 1.5 skimmer on my JBJ45 rimless. The setup went well and it primed quickly.
I do have the bubble inhibitor but the darn thing is a bit large for my back sump -- so I purchased 3/4" piece of PVC and made sure the return pipe was below the water line. I also discovered that placing the intake in one chamber and the return in another -- micro bubbles are not an issue.
Question: The bubbles in the chamber have not yet even reached the collection cup. Is this normal? I've read there is a break in period of possibly a few weeks -- but not sure what to expect during the break in period -- bubbles everywhere or like my experience -- not many bubbles at all
Appreciate your experienced observations!
