Skimmer not working properly

My old css 125 is acting up. I turn it on the skimmer is on the lowest setting and it is producing huge bubbles and pouring all of the big bubbles into the collection cup and turning to water. It fills up in a matter of minutes. I tried cleaning it out. What is going on and how do I fix it?
 
Make sure you clean the pump and venturi tube. Also, are you allowing it to break it after you plug it back in?
 
Skimmers require a break in period after being pluged in which could take a couple hours or a day or two. After this time it should start working properly.
 
Been there, had it happen. Clean the venturi opening at the pump and check the air silencer opening at the top of the skimmer. You may need to also replace the air line tubing.
