Hi, I just hooked this brand new skimmer up today. For the first 20 minutes it was hardly drawing any air. I checked lines weren't kinked, i blew threw lines to make sure. I raised it up and down several times, turned it on and off several times and messed with the pivot valve pipe...nothing would work.
I turned it on and off a few more times and then all of a sudden it started working. I have the water depth right at 8", the pump on #4 and the twist valve on about 2. Seems to be working well now.
BUT, how do I know it's drawing the air it should after such a weird startup.
This is my fourth RO skimmer among many others over the years so I don't think I missed something or connected incorrectly etc.
