hi guys quick ? i have an in sump skimmer not shure what brand it is but when it functions it works great.
ok the skimmer will just stop sucking air ok simple right, needs a good cleaning well i pulled it all apart what i can get apart and with hot water and hose cleaners scrubed her down good.
still stoped sucking air all i need to do to unplug it is blow hard on the air line and it pops something out and works fine for a day or so the pump itself is working fine its just the airline geting blocked up some how
my next course of action is to replace the air line if that dosent work i was going to try to hook up a small air pump to keep air forced through it but i am not shure if the skimmer will work properly if i do this
when i took the skimmer apart i noticed were the air is being pulled into the chamber its just a small hole do u think that if i drilled it out and made it just a slight bit larger that it would effect the funtionality
any suggestions would be great:confused:
