protein skimmer problem

[greg97527]

do u have an air line connected to an air valve? sometimes they will get salt in there and then the air cannot get past. I have had the same problem, while the skimmer is running blow pretty hard into the air tubing that runs down to the skimmers pump, ur skimmer should almost empty itself out and then give it a sec and see if the foaming starts. hope thats the problem, it happens with mine all the time.

good point, I did check to make sure that no salt had built up in the air line. This does happen to mine too.
