Help with Bashsea Twisted skimmer

[currentking]

Good morning. I have a Twisted skimmer and I am having problems dialing it in. It appears to really only have one adjustment which is a valve to control the water level. The problem is even with the valve fully open the skim is crazy wet and overflows into the cup. Does anyone else have some guidance on this? Thank you for your help.

What pump are you using?

What pump are you using?

Sicce 4.0.

I just spoke to Bashsea and they said that it could need to be broken in or something in the water it doesn’t like.

Im not sure but i think becketts need much more pressure to produce more air and less water which should reduce the water height in the skimmer. I just got my 6-30 today too and will be hookin up a 1700gph pan world ps200 to it. Ill let you know how it goes. What size did you get?

Couple of things you can try is restric the air intake and raise the skimmer higher.
