Need help with eShopps Skimmer

Hi Folks,
I'm using an eShopps 75 HOB. It's been working great since I started it up. I didn't even have any issues getting it dialed in. Last night I shut it off to feed my tank . Ever since, it runs but produces no foam at all. It doesn't even look like much air is being infused. When I dial it up, the liquid level rises, but still no air. This morning, I took it off the tank, emptied it all out, put it back on and reprimed it, but nada.
All ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks!

 

Sounds like the venturi intake is clogged. Have you checked it?

 

That is the one thing I have not checked. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be checking it as soon as I get home.

 

Took everything apart and cleaned it. Nothing is blocked. No improvement. It doesn't seem to be drawing any water through it either. Its like the pump is running but it isn't doing anything. Help... anyone?

 

About the only other thing it could be is either a bad impeller, the pump is burned-out, or that the pump is sitting too deep (or too shallow) in the tank.

Try lifting the skimmer up to see if it fills and runs normally. Some skimmers can be picky about water depth, esp the smaller ones.

With our Eshopps S-150 cone, I do notice a slight fall-off if a top-up is overdue, and with others, I've had to raise the skimmers or the pump wouldn't suck enuff air thru the venturi tube.

 

Skimmer is HOB. I took it off and tested it out in a bucket. The pump runs, the impeller spins, but it does not move any water. I was going to order a new impeller just to see if that would fix it, but I can't find parts online.

 

I had the same problem, I made sure to fill the skimmer with water and the skimmer pumped but no air bubbles. I just kept plugging the venturi tube with my finger and after a few minutes, it started to pump air again. i thought my skimmer broke.
