Hello, I just recently purchased and installed my new skimmer, the NW-150. It came with a one sheet pictorial on assembly, and I just wanted to make sure I'm doing this right. The "cone" portion was separate, and I inserted it into the chamber, pushing it all the way down until it rested on the inner plastic lip.

With the collection cup sitting in its "groove" on the chamber, the "neck" does not make contact with the "cone". Is this normal? If the skimmer is set to any level of "wet", it overflows through this gap, and this little chamber fills up and cannot drain.

I understand the skimmer will need a few days to a week to break in, considering there was no vinegar bath or the like, just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

Sounds correct to me. Give it a couple of days and see how it works out for you.
