Help -Skimmer Overflowing Constantly

[Cal_stir]

i think using ro is a waste, i soak my socks (3 every 2 to 3 days) in a bucket with some bleach for 24 hrs then rinse them well ( lil lady won't let me use washer), and let them soak 24 hrs in clean tap water, thought this was good. but then i quit smoking and after that i noticed i could smell the bleach in the dryed socks prior to using them, so i put a few drops of aquasafe in my final soak and can't smell bleach, ive had the bottle a year now, i do it just to be safe, have you tried running the skimmer without the sponges, they're probably there to control micro bubbles from getting in the tank, but your hob sump might prevent this, just a thought

No, I haven't. I was thinking about that and worried that they provided a degree of necessary back pressure. It'd be worth a try, for sure. I think the clogging was an unusual thing though. Once I get rid of all this HA, I think that level of gunk in the sponges will be a thing of the past.

I may pick up a small bottle of aquasafe for my socks. I know it takes care of chlorine but not sure about bleach. Although, 'bleach' is actually 'chlorine bleach', isn't it ? I'll have to check all that.
