Aquatic Beckett Style skimmer not working

[BarbaraInTx]

View attachment 1699Have an Aquatic Image Beckett Style skimmer that is not working.  It appears to get plenty of bubbles in the small chamber but not coming out in the larger chamber.  Have adjusted both knobs but can not seem to get it to consistently work.   Any help is greatly appreciated,  Barbara

Is that an external skimmer?

 

[BarbaraInTx]

Yes, it is external

true

Check all your Venturi hoses and input ports for the Venturi for clogs. But I think your pump is bad.

Thanks for your help.    Took it out and cleaned/checked every thing that could.   I guess it is time to look for a new skimmer.

Yeah if you can't find a replacement pump to swap out it is time.
