That's impressive - wow.

So every time I turn off the skimmer, will I have to readjust the air and water level? Or will the settings remain the same and I just have to let the foam build back up?

Leave it be and let the foam build back up. As far as I can tell, it looks like your setup nicely.

Thanks everyone. Learned a lot today!

Also might need to sit on a stand you can make an egg create one if you find the cup filling up to fast.

Im not sure if this is one of the skimz models that had the impeller change after a few months of production, I know the bigger skimmers did......if so it could be that the impeller you have may be the old style.....I just replaced the impeller on my Girlys skimz 250 with the new one and it seems to have made the skimmer a lot less temperamental......

Yep. The impeller was changed on this one too. It looks like I have it dialed it correctly (or at least a lot closer to what it should be than previously).

Is it working for you yet ?
I have the same pump in my SK181 and just installed the new impeller last week - the impeller that is supposed to fix the restart issue
After running it for 2 months with the original impeller, I found the new impeller drastically changed the way the skimmer runs
It has taken me over a week to learn how to dial it in again ...
