Micro Bubbles

[o0o_the_mutt_o0o]

I have my 220 up and running and my IceCap Skimmer is spitting bubbles like crazy! While I have a TON of water flow the bubbles are still getting to the return pump. I've tried pre filter blocks, and filter pads. what are some other solutions I can try to fix this headache?

has your skimmer always spit out bubbles? You might have to lift up the skimmer...it might be to deep. What kind of skimmate are you getting? Pictures would also help.

I've had skimmers that would blow out microbubbles while they were breaking in

I've raised it up to as depth of 5". Skimate is producing good

Are the bubbles coming out of the gate valve?

Are the bubbles coming out of the gate valve?

Yes, then getting through the pre filter block and to my return pump
