I'm running the Gen-X 4100 tbone. It's a bit noisy but seems to be a good pump. What I'm wondering is why I would have to (like you) almost close the pipe to get the water level up to a decent level to skim. I'm not a beginner and I've owned ER's before so if I need to close it down almost all the way, I would assume everyone else is in about the same boat.
Seems like the skimmer was designed so you can adjust it in any setting and unfortunately 3/4th of the adjustment is just useless because you won't be able to skim there. You only have the last 1/4th twist to make a difference.
Is this an underpowered pump problem?
