Skimz overflowing.

[scvc620]

I have a SkimZ Kone E series skimmer on my 525XL that has been working great. For no apparent reason is suddenly overflowing like crazy to the point I have had to unplug it. I cleaned it about 2 weeks ago and noticed it started to get water in the collection cup, only about 1/3 of the cup was water, but still getting lots of yucky stuff out like it's supposed to. After I pulled the cup out to empty it and put it back in, now it won't stop overflowing. I haven't added anything new or any chemicals other than 2 part that is dosed every day. I have gone back to original instructions and followed those, watched BRS TV and followed what was said there.

Start with opening the valve all the way and before I even have a chance to close it, the cup has overflowed. I've tried starting with the valve shut, it overflows. I have the skimmer out and checked all hoses and fittings.

There has to be something really ridiculous that I am missing!! Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Well... fish for sure. Snails might be another story. Would be hard to tell that. Are you thinking something might be stuck somewhere? I can sure pull it out again if so. This thing has worked like a charm, so I just don't get it.
