Does anybody else have an issue with filter rollers causing your skimmer to go crazy? Every time mine indexes the skimmer overflows like mad. Kind of like using a new filter sock without rinsing? But how would you rinse a roll?

I haven’t experienced the issue with Clarisea so far. What filter roller do you use?

One thing I’ve noticed lately is that having a carbon reactor before skimmer really helps prevent all sorts of overflowing troubles. If your sump compartments allow it, can give it a try.

Thanks, I have a Klir. No room for carbon before unless I go back to socks. I suspect my skimmer is just too touchy.
