[Rmckoy]

This skimmer is going to be the part of this setup to push me over the edge .

don’t get me wrong . It’s amazing and works well when it’s working .
Current situation .

inside the injector it’s not seaming on both top and bottom filling that compartment with tank water .

I’ve just finished dismantling and cleaning . Assembling again to turn on and see it’s the exact same …

Any tricks I am missing ?

If compartment is filling, something is clogged. Start with line to muffler (blow through it) to see if clear and that seals are Not missing if any.

doing so this time isn’t working .
I was thinking there was a trick someone else has tired and was effective for this same issue

The collection cup drains into another vessel . When it’s full it blocks the air essentially Turing the skimmer off ( restricting air to pass through. .
It was plugged …..
