You should set the air screw in the silencer assembly all the way closed then open it about 3/4 a turn... Open the gate valve all the way up..
Let the skimmer settle for a hour..
Then slowly close the gate until the water reached the area where the Collection cup attaches..
Wait a while again for it to settle... Then slowly close the air very slight turns
Wait.
turn
wait.
Do this until the bubbles are just below the bottom of the collection cup.. Then wait 3-4 days and adjust..
check it often as you may have to start adjusting more at any time.
This is how i set mine up..
Closing the AIR Raises the bubbles.. Closing the gate raises the water level.
Opening the The air lowers the Bubbles. Opening the gate lowers the water level...
