That old nemesis, micro bubbles.

More flow will make it worse, decreasing the "dwell time" and allowing more bubbles to get into the tank. Honestly, if you can think of a way to slow down the flow a bit from the pump that might help a lot.

I would say it's best to go to the manufacturers website, or even email them. if you are having this problem, more than likely someone else did, and they can usually give you the best advice on how to "fix it"..... this is assuming they have good customer service obviously lol

Did you buy the skimmer new or used? Maybe someone upgraded the pump larger than OE.......

I bought it used. They said if anything, the pump is a bit too small. I actually got a new pump made specifically for my skimmer, and I'm still seeing bubbles. I think I'll try to call the company tomorrow. It appears that the bubbles are coming when the water enters the DT, and not before.

I seem to remember that CPR was extremely specific about the level of the water compared to the level of the output pipe. Check with them or otherwise scare up a modern version of the manual for your fugeâ€¦
