Skimmer microbubbles question

[miggs76]

Recently my skimmer is emitting an abundance of microbubbles.  I've had the skimmer for almost a year.  I haven't done anything differently with the height and water level.  Is there a fix for this?  I'm trying a vinegar bath overnight as I type this.  It is not a small problem, there are a ton of microbubbles when I turn the skimmer on.  None right now with the skimmer off.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you tell where they are originating/coming from.? I have had similar issues that came from a leak in the unit..

Im not to familiar with those skimmers, but If you haven't already, I would check all the fittings, make sure nothing has come loose and give it a good cleaning as well. Sometimes the strangest things can cause issues.

 

21 long years.. Id like some payback against Atlanta.

Just teasing, all.  I left Atlanta six years ago to come up here, haven't looked back. Thx
