remora skimmer problem!

2tall · 08-24-2007, 11:55 PM

Hi folks new here,
I have a remora skimmer by Aqua C that basically quit making foam. If you take the cap off and look down the tube, it is making bubbles but they are bb sized and bigger and not flowing up into the cup. Just looking for any suggestions.
Thanks for your help,
Tommy

Clean the pump w/ vinegar and clean the air intake. Basically give it a really good cleaning. I'm betting the air intake is obstructed with salt creep and the pump is hindered.

Take the plastic screw out and run a pipe cleaner threw the openning.

Yep take the plastic screw out of the injection tube and run the cleaner brush through it. There isn't a air intake to clean considering this is an spray injection system. Depending on how old the pump is it may need replaced.

Well i tried takin the pump apart and cleaned it and the skimmer out but stiil no luck.The pump is only about a year old, i would think it would last longer than that. I just cant figure out why its making big bubbles instead of little ones.thanks for the ideas and if u come up with anything else please let me know.

You could have a similar problem (something stuck in the nozzle).
