Yup... my understanding is if you are not running it on a pressure rated pump, you will need double what it calls for to make the difference..

I thought it was too much pump at first, had it throttled back 25% for a while - but once the skimmer neck gets all dirty and im too lazy to clean it i just opened it up full throttle and works like a charm!

^^ they may be right...


but,



make sure you get the water level correct inside the skimmer with your current pump FIRST....

in the picture you showed... the skimmer is FULL of water..
Is the gate valve even open? - no bubbles or flow appear to be coming from it at all (no ripples from the output, etc.)

yes its about half way open and like i noted, ill take a look once i get home to see what i can do.
