New ER Skimmer starting to tick me off:(

Okay thanks everyone. I don't have the gate valve mod. But i think it will be coming as lowering and rising this pipe is ercin me...lol


asmodeus thanks for thee pics that helps. I will move the water level down abit as i have it sitting about 1/4 way up the collection cup but it still isn't pulling anything. Although from the look of the water level in your sump i don't think i have enough water in the sump. As it is sitting in about 6 inches as per the instructions but i will add a bunch and see what happens there.

Craig the water level should be around 8 " that is what i have always set mine at. With that being said try turning the air down on the skimmer with the little valve the Er has sent you with the skimmer I had more on the 1-2 O-clock range it worked great for me too

Okay thanks for the help. That is where i have the air valve sitting now and I will add another bit of water and let it sit i guess. And hopefully i will see something in the next day or two.

if you are breaking it in try taken off the air valves and let it run full bore too I used to do that too.
