...It's funny, I had just cleaned the Air intake on Monday of this week, just days before it overflowed again.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong though. I usually grab some freshwater with a cup out of the bucket we make water in, put it in the microwave to heat it up a little bit, then just stick the hose in the cup and let it suck in some water. I do this until it's [the skimmer cup] about to overflow, then back off and let it settle back down. Rinse and repeat until freshwater cup is empty. I can actually hear the air sucking through the hose a lot better after I do this.

This practice isn't really done on a regular occasion though. I just do it when I don't hear the hose sucking as much air in.

I can try doing this on a more regular basis to see if it helps I guess.
