Water flow outlet keep at minimum, pump output max flow.

If skimmer water level keep increasing, open up slightly on the waterflow outlet till attaining your desired skimmer level.

Hi

Eric,

I did tried that, but if my pump inlet is max. the water will rise and I slightly open up the water outlet, the bubbles will also rise. So this has made me to reduce the inlet pump minimium. Now my skimmate is looks like light kopi o only.

dont mind the one at the out flow. it is there to prevent a siphon that can change your water level in the skimmer.

Hi

Tanggy,

Then wat abt the inlet nipple for? As wat Eric told me to put inlet to max. but the water keep rising and if the outlet flow were to open up slightly, more bubbles will be pushed up and the collector cup easily fill up with water. Any idea how to control the level?Thanks

Open the outlet valve (Red) to max. then adjust the water level. put a air limiter to the inlet and adjust untill the least bubbles comes out the output. limiting the air will also change the bubbles size. Have to trail & error. giveme a call if you need more info. PM u my number liaoz.
