    My skimmer seems to be running fine but when I look at the foam head its keeps going up and down and when I listen to the intake tube it sounds like its pulsing. Is that ok I took It out and looked at it nothing seems to be wrong.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Does the intake tube need to be flushed secondary to salt creep?
