turbofloater skimmer question


I have a T1000 skimmer. It's been running for a week now and I have almost 0 skimmate. Anything that makes it up is super dry.

How do i adjust it so that it skimms more wet?

On the two outputs there should be knobs. Turn them a bit and that will restrict the amount of water lkeaving the skimmer and raise the water level in the skimmer.

If you have them pointing toward the cup the skimate is wetter, toward the outputs the skimate is dryer.

Do you have the OR 2700 needle wheel pump, or the Rio? If you have the Rio, I strongly suggest the upgrade to the OR 2700 it is worth it.
