    I'll admit to old and tired and I can't remember a simple thing.....

    If your skimmer is continually over flowing with the gate valve all the open....

    you need to increase the water depth.... or decrease the water depth???


    I know closing the valve creates more bubbles.... I need less...

    I know I should know this... just tired.
