9010 - not skimming much

Your pump is missing the venturi nozzle! You need part 3130.16, that is the problem, this is a barrel that goes over the end you have the airline inserted into. It has a cone inside. Double check if you have such a part.

- you gotta be kidding me! That would explain it huh..... man, I'll check it out when I get home.

Just tp clarify - it goes over the end of the airline or the pump outlet pipe? It's an open ended "barrel" with a cone inside? Would you have a link to a photo so I know exactly what I am looking for?

If you search 3130.16 on tunze.com you can see a pic, it will make up that 1/8" gap. It goes over the pump outlet, the holes line up and the airline nipple inserts into it. What I would suspect happened is it stuck in the pipe and not on the pump and somewhere along the way fell out.

I guess a Picture is worth a thousand words. I sure am glad I saved all that "mounting hardware" stuff. Sure enough, there is was in my bag of "spare parts". It's a BIG differance already instantly (as you might expect). Thanks for all your guidence and help on this Roger. I feel silly now, but hey, live and learn

No problem, I am glad we figured it out.
