I've had nothing but issues with this skimmer. I've owned it for amost a year now, and I'm about ready to toss the thing out the window! I have it at the recommended water level (which doesn't fluctuate in my sump). It seems to work fine, and then out of the blue it's overflowing back into my sump. I can unplug it and plug it back in and it works fine for a few more hours/days?
I've removed it several times to clean & inspect it, and noticed the o-ring that's between the pump and the skimmer body has been pushed into the skimmer chamber (not sure if this was the issue) i glued it in place thinking perhaps i finally solved my issues. Well, after running the skimmer with no issue for 3 - 4 days, I checked and sure enough it was overflowing once again! I removed the skimmer to check the o-ring, but it was still in it's proper place. Anybody have any suggestions, or experiencing this same issue? btw....No chemicals are getting into the water that may act up the skimmer.
