I've About Had it With This Curve Skimmer

[joeyprice]

Been running for a week in 5" of water and will not stop overflowing.
The water adjustment is wide open and its blowing foam up the adjustment pipe and out of the underwater portions of the skimmer body.
I can't find and adjustment for the air intake. Before I take it out to the driveway and back over it does anybody have any ideas?

Its a BM Curve 5

I’ll give you $5 for it and save you the trouble!
(I can always use a backup

Fwiw,
Most people find the instructions lacking. Many also find that the adjustment is opposite of the way it reads.

There are videos on YouTube for it.

Is it brand new? When I first started up my skimmer I let it overflow for about a week then dialed it to wide open (lowest water level). Then gated the flow by small 1/4 - 1/2 turn adjustments and let it simmer for a bit before adjusting more. Pulled really wet skimmate for a few weeks until I got the sucker dialed in and a film really established on the body.

I haven't adjusted or cleaned the body in a few months. It's working so well I'm afraid to mess with it (despite the body being super, super nasty).
