DAS EX-1 protein skimmer

Bottom of the skimmer cup edge. So if you were to shut the air off (valve) you could take the collection cup off and the water would be just below the rim?
That's where mine is sitting now! I almost got mine hooked up and running tonight. Ran into a snag when I realized I never glued a piece of pipe to the T for the output hose to fit on :? Hoping to have her all hooked up and running tomorrow night!

I just shut the gate valve for the intake water = leave the circulation and air going - water drops well below the cup attaching area. Funny you say you didn't glue one piece - i did the same thing lol

OK, I failed miserably
Just put the new skimmer online and I ran out of towels , again
The extra resistance from having the sump hooked up made my life miserable. Water came out of the ouptut vent....... So I hooked up a seperate line to the sump and now my durso/drain setup is inconsistent. The water level in my overflow is going up and down etc...

Need to figure out how to get a constant drain, it is affecting the water level in the skimmer??
