I just bought the classic 150-S space saver 7/30. Figured out how to install and adjust the level with the dial. Worked great, better than any other skimmer over the last ten years. I have a 150 gal , btw. I clean the collection cup once a week. I clean the whole unit once a month. The foam was really good and whole unit really bubbled even through the bio balls. I add reverse osmosis water daily to not have to adjust the dial. Today while adding water I noticed no foam or bubble. Unplugged and cleaned whole unit and still nothing. It's just cycling water. Help!!

Sounds like the air intake is clogged. Did you remove the venturi adapter and checked to see that it was not clogged up? Also, try injecting fresh RO water into the air intake hose to flush any accumulated salt that may be blocking or partially blocking the air intake.

Thanks Carlos, I did do all of that 3 times. It's really a pain because I have to test it under water. It is so clean it look brand new again. It appeared to be working for now. Took pictures while out of sump for serial number in case I need to make a ticket.
