Anyone Have a PM Bullet 1 Skimmer

[Kaiden]

I have a Bullet one skimmer and I can not get it to fill with foam for the life of me. Maybe it's due to the ball valve being so hard to turn, or maybe it's due to the injector only having bubbles on one side. Any help would be help...thanks..

How long have you had it?
What pump are you running with it?

With air turned all the way off, where is the water level in the skimmer?

[got a bullet2, so will work slightly differently - but maybe I can help]

I have a mag 12 and I try to keep the water level like the manual says 1 inch up in the main tube.

I have had this skimmer for over a week now, the guys over at PM said it sould break in in about 28 to 48 hours.

Get a pressure-rated pump and ditch the ball valve. You need a gate valve to dial in with. It's nearly impossible with a ball valve.

its self leveling....check your pH and dKH....try a small water change to see if it foams.....you are getting bubbles just not enough to fill to cup ...??? they do take some time to break in...i use a mag 9.5 and got better results than the 12...go figure
