Hi, bought a skimmer off e-bay and cant get it to work properley, keeps rising out the water and stopping.
Anyone else got one of these
Pond Skimmer with 2500L/H Pump and Fountain Attachments | eBay

have been told to screw the basket to the top, have tried screwing it to the top of the actual skimmer meaning the main float is free but still wont work and is very hard to screw down with the pressure needed to push the sponges down.
help much appreciated, thanks

Hi, well i have an oase 25 skimmer thing and mine was forever popping up and was sending me insane, so to stop the problem i put a big stone in it to hold the thing down more and it worked lol... happy days.. not sure if it will work with the skimmer u have though

with mine it does it after i have cleaned it out so what i do is tip it slightly to one side and total submerge it and rock it about for a few minutes this allows any trapped air to escape and this works most of the time sometimes i need to repeat the process

yeh mine is the same also... everytime i clean it (which is twice a day ) thats what it does lol but the stone work also
