My aquamedic skimmer hasn't been producing foam at all this week. I even gave it a good clean. So anyone have a answer?
Just a LITTLE skimmer problem

Which AM do you have, the Turboflotor..?
Do you have bubbles in the chamber, just no foam rising up the collection tube...?
Have you adjusted the outlet valves to push the water up near the bottom of the collection tube...?
Have you changed the depth of the water it's sitting in (or is yours HOB) how deep is the pump under the water...?

Well i haven't touched anything since i first setup the skimmer. Yes, its a turbo flotor. Theres LOTS of bubbles and water in the main chamber of the skimmer. The skimmer is a HOB....soon will be in my new sump. The pump isn't to deep maybe 5-7in?

Two things to try...
1.Pull the airline off the venturi and make sure it's clear and run a drill bit or some type of "reamer" down the venturi hole to be sure it's open..
2. close down the outlet valves a little bit at a time giving it an hour or two between adjustments to see if it helps..if you go too far, the collection cup will fill with clear water...
5"-7" isn't too bad...
