    Ive had my skimmer for over four months now, and no problems right it and randomly the other day it started to over flow right bubbles? Ive tried everything I could think of to fix this problem, ive tried turning the nozzle to full, i even took the whole tube/nozzle out to try and decrease the amount of bubbles/water that was building up but no luck, does anyone have any suggestions?

    Check to see if the air intake is blocked. Sometimes salt creep builds up in the intake and needs to be cleaned out.

    clean the pump too, might not be putting out enough pressure causing bigger bubbles.
