Problem with my skimmer. I have an ES5-3. It's worked excellent throughout the past 2-3yrs I've had it. I had an issue with the pump sticking once the power went out that cleaning didn't help. Got a new pump and worked fine for the last 5 months.

Problem now is that the unit is not skimming much. It seems that it can't create bubbles, no more than 1/2". Nothing really accumilates in the cup. I've tried adjusting the riser pipe numerous times and has not helped. I also cleaned the unit twice. After the cleaning, it seams to work for the 1st day and then back to not creating bubbles. Each cleaning of the skimmer was durring a H2O change, which of course always makes the skimmer produce more for the 1st couple hours.

Any Suggestions? Thanks, Tim
