My Macro AS250 gone crazy

[pegasus1010]

Hi all,

recently my skimmer gone crazy skimming water all the way up to the collection cup & out of the cover too.. the bubbles can still be seen on the tube but at dis stage it is not skimming dirt anymore.

I had removed the skimmer & pump for washing with warm water but no use..

Had turn off the skimmer since yesterday nite as the water out of the collection cup cover is wetting my floor.

Dis skimmer is 2 mth old from bio ocean, tried calling them but I think they are still not opened yet.

anyone had suggestion / comments as to what I can do next?

tune your exit...open it bigger

Did u dose any additives/medication lately? certain additives/medication can cause excessive foaming!

thanks guys..prob solved.

I covered the exit with cotton wool to block the bubbles, end up the cotton is dirty & blocked the smooth exit of water. Removed the wool & the skimmer is back to normal liao.

Thanks once again. U gave me the idea.
