Almost TWO years later, and I finally found the culprit.
My skimmer 200 INT (that is not new, already broken in) is producing microbubbles from the pump itself. How I figured it out:
I was cleaning it and noticed that as soon as I connect the Venturi with the tube that goes to the air, microbubbles blow out of the pump. Why is this happening? I don’t know what to do… am I missing an o-ring for the Venturi?
I have never noticed one there to begin with, all other o rings are there.
when I remove the Venturi, while the pump is on, the microbubbles immediately go away.
I hope someone can help me solve this mystery.
thank you
