Dial it back, just like breaking in a new skimmer. I have to partially close my airline after cleaning mine. I also set my skimmer very dry during these cleaning events. As soon the bubbles go down in the neck, I open the airline back up, and dial it to more of a wet skimmate.

it has no dial and if i close down the air line the cup fills even quicker,but if i blow down the air pipe the filling up stops
