Tunze Nano 9002 Wet Skimmate

[E.intheC]

Last night I installed my brand new Tunze nano skimmer, and it has been producing only a very wet skimmate that overflows the collection cup within a matter of minutes. The air intake has been adjusted slowly to produce the least amount of bubbles, but it still overflows. I have tried adjusting the height of the skimmer, and have the skimmer higher up than normal as well. This seemed to make things better, but not enough to make a usable skimmer. The bubbles are also larger than I would expect them to be at this point.

I realize this is a newly setup skimmer, but is this part of the break in period? The cup will overflow completely in about 10-20 minutes or so..

I don't use any additives, and since I have ro/di water I don't need to use any dechlorinators in the water.

Any suggestions/tips?

Thank you!

I had a problem with my tunze 9002 skimmer where it would fill the cup in a matter of minutes no matter where I had the blue screw it could even be fully closed.

I let it break in for 2 weeks and was no change turned out that the thread on the top plate was to big for the screw so the air regulation wasnt working properly.

Roger from tunze sent me a new top plate and the skimmer is working fine now.
