Yes, take the skimmer out, give it a good dry. Make sure the rubber caps on the impeller shaft are dry and in place super well. They have to be in place perfectly or the pump won't fire correctly. Another thing to do is to attach the mesh with fishing line to decrease the weight. I'm getting mine in tomorrow. So i'll try and do a blow by blow. I've messed with these pump's for a long time, there quite annoying at times, but well worth the trouble.
