PSK-200, can't control air bubbles. Collection cup fills with water in seconds

a lot of the time when this happen is when you take the pump cover apart to clean. when you put it back, there's a black rubber in the cover that hold the ceramic shaft to the center is probably not at the center. when that happen, it push the shaft to the side and cause the impeller to make noise. I believe this is that happened to your case. This is a very common problem when the cover is not put back properly. Glad you got it figured it out, don't forget to post some pictures now of your nasty skimmate .

 

Here's the "Nasty skimmate" as requested
Love my new skimmer! I see this picture and I think... "Ewww.... that was in my water!"

glad it worked out, in the coming weeks, the skimmer will only produce more and smelly nasty skimmate . this is only the beginning, hehe.

 

By the way, I've been reading some people run their skimmers on 12 hour intervals. Meaning 12 hrs on, then 12 hrs off.

What's your opinion on that?

NO, leave your skimmer on.
