Do you have the pump valve full on and the water level adujsted to the bottom of the collection cone? Also, when is the last time you completely cleaned the skimmer. Over time they will become less efficient when dirty.

Jared, I think this thread is the one he started in the feedback forum and it got moved here. There is a second thread here:

Where a lot of his skimmer is discussed, along with cleaning it.

Clean every thing ,specialy the injector nozzle.Then check the pump falve is wide open and water level adjustment is dialed in.

Has it ever collecthed skimate before? If so then I would try cleaning up as recomended, sometimes the impeller or the air intake area of the venturi gets gunked up. also if your running a high Ca content in your water you can build deposits in the pipes slowing everything down and reducing effeiancy, make sure to check the gate/ball valve on the drain side too if you have one. Hope you find the problem.
