Hi i just purchased a new Eshopps PSK-100H Skimmer. After installing and turning it there is lots of micro bubbles that come out of it. Any sololution to fix this? Thanks in advance

Well, the Eshopps are not known for microbubble problems so I would chalk it up to it being a new skimmer that has yet to "break in". New skimmers are more prone to microbubbles than established skimmer and since this is a skimmer that normally does not have issues, I would lean towards that.

However, if the microbubbles persist make sure that the air-feed is unobstructed and completely open. Most microbubble issues are caused my too much water being forced through the skimmer and often in non-microbubble issue skimmers, it is the result of the air-feed being restricted.

Awesome thank you. After going through a lot of other threads on here I guess I should have waited about two weeks for break in period before posting.

No worries. :)

It is better to ask first anyway because if it was a common problem for the skimmer, then you might consider returning it.
