I am using a Skim around and noticed ocassional air in my pump. I have a bubbler that creates waves and the waves were pulling water out of the skimmer across from it. So I diverted suction from skimmer to main and it went away. Not the answer to the problem for sure. So i researched and found that my water level was 1/5-1/6 up the skimmer opening. So I added water ( i had to cut off the overflow valve ) to get it to 1/2 plus. Now i can change suction back to skimmer and have bubbler full blast. However, I now notice the skimmer not working as well as it was. The weir door is low and the flow is slow, so no whirlpool effect.
So do get velocity do i need a lower water level so the door isnt as closed?
Thanks
