Could be that it's fallen apart slightly in the beckett holder then.

You can use an O-ring, or elastics, or find the right size of PVC (I had to dig through my box-o-plumbing-bits to find the right size, two different 1" PVC worked but I needed one with a thinner wall thickness to fit on one end and one with a thicker wall on the other).

Was your skimmer having the same problem then? I guess whats happening is that water is filling up in the housing of the beckett head injector (or whatever its actually called) and water is then being forced out if the air intake instead of air being sucked in. Need to figure out why water is filling up in there...

So water is still coming out of the beckett and ending up on the floor?

Just fixed it finally...I knew it would be something so stupid and small too. I just screwed the air intake valve too far in. Simple as that. Its working now.
