We would be repairing the skimmer you have, my assumption is that it is only a simple issue with how it is assembled or installed, it is a very simple unit and I have any parts needed on hand. I plan to check that everything is technically correct, replace anything if needed, test it, take photos showing it working properly and send it back pre tuned and ready to go. I will have the skimmer repaired and on the way back to you within 2 days of getting it.
