My Macro AS250 gone bonkers!

[diabolus]

my skimmer gone bonkers...

its not producing bubbles at all...

there is always water in the air tube when its submerged in water.

but when i place a finger on the pump inlet....the air bubbles start foaming.

wat the hell is happening to it?

anyway to troubleshoot?

is there a air-intake tube? if yes, take it out from the water. Is ur pump roughly 10mm below water level? if no, do it. The above apply to my as100p. dunnoe abt urs.

Your pump probably needs a good cleaning.

bro...

my skimmer less than a month old leh...

[firestream]

something stuck inside ?

the pump should be less than 10cm into water

[diabolus]

Less than 10cm into the water?

ok...i'll go try...

I placed my pump in the sump and getting mud every day.

May be your pump / skimmer need to clean.

Clean with warm water will get best result.

hhmmm...

shifted the pump to within 5cm from the water surface and the bubbles started coming in again.

some kinda design flaw on Macro's side of did i get myself a lemon?

IMHO, i thk some problem with your pump. My experience was not exactly your case. But it produce extra large bubbles and just couldn't skim....

The problem was solved after I changed my pump.
