Im getting jets of air from my circulation pumps.

I assumed this was the skimmer so i turned it off but it still happens.

Water level is at correct height.

Any ideas?

If your using the black sponge to the right of the skimmer make sure its clean by giving it a good rinse.

I find if mine is full it produces tiny air bubbles that exit through the pumps due to not enough flow...

Hope this helps,

Casp.

I took your advice and also weighted down the carbon as it was floating under the pumps.

Not sure which it was but its certainly helped :D

hi steve.

i checked the guide. to be honest, what was causing it was the carbon bag floating under the pumps.

thanks
