View Full Version : Skimmer producing way too many bubbles

For some reason, my CPR BakPak skimmer just started spitting out crazy amounts of bubbles, and it's almost pushing out like a powerhead. It's not foaming at all, and instead of the little tiny ton of bubbles usually beneath my cup, I almost have clear water. I did a 20% water change today, but that's nothing new. Should I leave my skimmer off for awhile? Is there a reason why it's acting like this? I took it all a part and cleaned it with FW, but no change. Please help.

Let it settle for a day and see what happens. Other than that the only other thing to do is cut back on the air supply to decrase the bubbles the ph is putting out ???

Just pull it off, and put if back on? Or do you mean to twist where it connects to the pump? Thanks.

Disregard. All I did was push down and tighten up the end of the air intake line, and it seemed to fix the problem. Wow, hard to believe that moving it just that little bit fixed the whole thing. Thanks for your inputs.
