Skimmer is on overdrive

[laezur]

Just put this skimmer back into action after not being able to use it for a few months due to having to replace some piping for the sump.

It’s in overdrive right now, water just constantly coming out of the overflow. It’s been running about 24 hours, will this stop??

I think the setting is off, need to adjust it so the bubbles don't pop that fast.

Normal since it’s been a while

adjust it so it doesn’t overflow.

Do I need it on max or min to break-in? I’ve never fully understood the settings on this thing used to just run it however it looked best working

There should be a knob or control rod that adjust the amount of water coming out. Turn it to make the necessary adjustment.

Have a bubble magus curve 9. Turn the adjustment knob to max and that will lower the foam all the way down in the chamber. If it’s still overflowing take cap off of drain in collection cup and let it run back into sump until skimmer settles down.
