Ok yall i have found it hard to find information on simplicity skimmer breaks in so i called the company and got the info.

First turn your controller to 1.4 (they said they are working on changing this in the manual)

Next turn your gate valve arrow to arrow

Third close your air valve all the way and then turn 90 to 180 back in opening direction he described it as trying to get the bubble as fine as possible.

Fourth he said you want the bubble level to be right where the black ring of the skimmer cup meets the body. This intially might be higher due to break in, if so and its on a new system just let it overflow into tank. If your bubbles are not there you can make adjustments with the gate valve to get them there. He said make the adjustments daily in the evening.

Bonus:! They are hopefully releasing a video next month so keep your eyes out!!


I hope this helps someone else who was struggling with this!
