Need help with eShopps 75 HOB

[sjnovakovich]

I'm desperate. My skimmer worked for months. I shut if off to feed last night, and now I can't get it to work to save my life.

Took everything apart and cleaned it. Nothing is blocked. No improvement. It's making no foam and it doesn't seem to be drawing any water through it either. Its like the pump is running but it isn't doing anything. Help... anyone?

after cleaning my 100hob, it failed to start. on the hope that a piece of calcium or something else got stuck, try blowing into the air tube but dont drop the hose lower than the water line or youll get a mouthful of saltwater. it worked for me

When your trying to start it, how much water is in the skimmer already? I always filled my skimmer with water from the tank, pinch the airline and plug it in. Once the water started flowing again, let go of the airline.

I had the same issue and tried everything RYknow and nothing worked which was weird. What ended up working for me was just to blow into the airline and that solved everything
