How old is the pump and impeller? I had the same problem. It ended up being my impeller was going bad. I found that I was adjusting it to get skimmate when it was not working at its peak. Then of and on the pump/impeller would work better and cause the skimmer to over flow. My pump and impeller were 4 years old so I just bought a new pump instead of just a new impeller.

Only indication I got was I couldn't keep it tuned in. One minute or day it would produce normal ski mate, and the next it would overflow. Once I tried the new impeller on my old pump, no now problems. I would reach out to Coralvue and describe your problem to Carlos. Maybe there is something I'm missing.
