peligro Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ok so my wife bought me this skimmer. She thought it would be perfect since she knew I was having a hard time deciding on a new skimmer. So I'm using it. One thing I notice is it doesn't produce any foam action, any suggestions on how to mod this thing to perform better. And I'd return it except she already had it in my actual display, so couldn't return it. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE! HTC EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just googled it, looks like a neat little skimmer; are you sure you have it tuned right? If its new, it could just need time to be "broken in" many skimmer (if not all) need to get dirty before the foam can climb up to the collection chamber. I am probably the wrong person to be answering questions about skimmers, since I have never been able to tune a skimmer exactly the way I want. LOL.

ZachS Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I have a prism hob and if I turn it off it takes about a week to start skimming. .I agree with the break in slight adjustments daily till you get the foam action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peligro Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah its been going for about a weak, and in order to get any bubbles which don't foam, is to open my air line all the way. I let it sit for about 3 days like the instructions said, but still no good foam action HTC EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbird Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It took about two weeks for my E-shoppes to start to make good skimmate. It might just need a bit more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
