Get bubbles in the sump which go into tank. Push motor up &amp;get rid of bubbles but then no bubbles in skimmer, only water. Ideas on how to fix?

It took my skimmer a day or so to break in, so I had this issue also. After adjusting my water level in my sump and dialing in or adjusting the skimmer they went away. If I let the water level get to low my bubbles return. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, probably water going from top tank to the bottom one is not fast enough to fill water above the sensor. I was changing level a little bit (adding something very small under the Luma and found the best angle (very small change) and now is working without problems more than 1 year

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.

it sounds like the water is puming out to fast for the water coming in. the pump is probably too big for your application. try reducing the outlet hose size to about 3/4" instead of the 1 1/4" it is set up for. if the float had about 8" of travel instead of 3" you would be fine. my pump works fine for me, i am happy with it.

Sounds like the pump. There is a fly wheel [you can see this through the top [a round hole] that may be stuck. Try forcing water or a burst of air through it. Some times all it needs is pulling the filters up and down to get it started.

I found that you needed two pumps - one the air stone and one for the down current. Tried to do with just one and couldn't get enough flow. Went to Wal-Mart and got two Whisper 10-30 gallon pumps. Skimmer now works pretty good but a little finicky to adjust.

the problem i have had is that it will tend to float above water level and the pump is rubbinf but not getting water mine burned out my pump, i quit using the skimmer.

Are you filling it to the max fill line? It usually takes a couple of minutes for the water signal to reset. Mine did that and I lightly banged the sides and it started working. If that's not the problem then you may have to call Edge Star for help.

check your hose and make sure water is in the hose if the hose is floating high than the skimmer the pump wont pump water thought the hose

I had a similar issue. I took it apart, cleaned out the rotor and siphon tube, and it seemed to fix the problem. The flow control in the siphon tube had caught some algae and quickly plugged up the system.

I have an ancient fish tank motor (same principal) sometimes the impeller(little fan like thing that moves the water)gets clogged Carefully under running water try to flush it out. A little food/whisker whatever may be stuck. Goodluck

Did you insert it into the white hole/valve thing? maybe you need to insert it just a bit further. Otherwise sounds like you did everything right. Maybe your pump is bad, try another. Good luck!

I have not had this problem with either pump I installed. Possibly water is not staying in the line and the gaskets are getting dried out or your intake and overboard discharge are clogged and water is not flowing smoothly through the system or (if you have one) your holding tank is full so there is no place for the water to pump into...

I have just flushed the tank (fill 100% then drain completely) several times till the water drains clear and then use a good chemical treatment. Hope that helps...

Your problem is most likely that you don't have sufficient air pressure to feed the bubble wand. I have an air flow control valve on my line and when the air flow is restricted (Reducing pressure to the wand) it only bubbles from afew spots.

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

Make sure the submersible pump in the back right side compartment is not touching any walls and be sure to press firmly on the unit to fasten the suction cups to the bottom of the tank. Hope this helps :) Duane Ring
