    hello All

    i have recently faced an issue with BM , even when i turn the air flow controller to wide open to set the level of skimming to bottom of the deck , i cant get it that low, the skimming now is 3/4 up to top and cant go down, any experience with that issue ?

    thx for helping

    Something is blocking the air intake or the water intake

    Most likely the air intake

    Might be time to break out the vinegar for a soak. This just happened to me a few weeks ago.
