    Hum from skimmers

    Thanks, but nothing in any of the hose sections or the vaccum. We even put a new vaccum on the end and as soon as we plug the other end into the skimmer we hear that humming from both skimmers. Poltergeist?

    Hum from skimmers

    Hello Everyone, A new summer comes a new issue. Just started yesterday. When the vaccum is running a hum comes from the skimmers, but when the vaccum not running no hum. When we rwmove half the hose links no hum, but adding the hose links back it hums. We are dumbfounded and baffled🤣 Any ideas?

    Southern California Evaporation

    Well thank you for that information. I dont know since you live in a different climate that the evaporation would be the same here. Your weather is much hotter than here, but I guess it all depends on the temp difference between water and air usually at night.
