Hi all, I recently bought this skimmer (about 3 months ago) and am having a little trouble getting it dialled in properly.
It's sitting in 21cm of water and i seem to have to completely close the water outlet and almost completely close the air intake to get the water level up to the base of the skimmer cup neck!
With just the water outlet closed it produced a very light skimmate and small adjustments to the air inlet make no difference. It was only when I almost completely closed the air inlet that it finally started producing smaller bubbles.
This seems a bit counter intuitive as I bought the skimmer in the first place for its massive 1500 l/h air intake, and I'm pretty much choking it down to nothing.
Does anyone else have this model? I thought it was one of the best money could buy :/
