I have run this SRO 3000 for 3 months now and never had a problem before. Recently it sucked up a sucked up a bag , the bag didn't go into the bubble blaster or anything but it just wasn't pulling very much water in I think . I pulled the bag out and the skimmer ever since is going crazy and I can't get it to adjust open the gate close the gate it doesn't matter . Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have tryed everything, I'm pulling my hair our here

What do you mean by going crazy like overflowing? or is the pump acting wierd? If anything still under warranty it sounds like.

Check the air intake on your pump. It could be plugged up, which would cause your skimmer to overflow.

Thanks, Steve

I love my SRO 3000. Lots of times certain contaminants will make a skimmer go crazy. There's a chance the bag may have been contaminated with something. But I would definitely check the air intake and make sure the skimmer in in the right depth of water.
