i am having problems with the skimmer nothing has changed in my system and for the last 2 days is not skimming. It is producing very small bubbles and it seems like the pump is not putting out enough. The skimmer is only about 2 months old. Can u please give me some suggestions on what I can do. Thank u

It sounds like the surface tension of the water changed so you are not forming foam collection. Do you still have a good amount of water exiting the skimmer?

Yes the skimmer has plenty of water coming out of it.

If the venturi (air intake) is not clogged then it is just a change in surface tension of the water. Oils are the common cause for loss of foam. Time and sometimes the use of fresh activated carbon will remove oils and keep down times to a min.
