Problem:

Small air bubbles returning to the tank

No waste collecting in collection cup.

The Ario pump is producing little or no

bubbles.

Before calling CPR's Technical Support, please take some time to look over this trouble

disassembly

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Cause and Solution:

The surface tension of the water has been increased by added supplements, medications,

or conditioners. Disable the protein skimmer by submerging the airline into the water

(remove muffler first) or shutting off the air valve for 24 hours. Many products contain

chemicals which will still be present in the aquarium after 24 hours. Run the protein

skimmer as normal to remove compounds which may be affecting surface tension.

The salinity is too high. Lower the salinity to 1.023.

Adjust the red flow controller on the feed pump. Reducing the flow will slow the flow

rate through the skimmer, reducing the draft of bubbles into the tank.

The aquarium has just been cleaned or water has been changed. Synthetic salt mixes

often contain conditioners which increase the surface tension of the water. Bubbles

should disappear within 48 hours.

The air line is clogged with detritus or salt creep. This will increase the water flow rate

and possibly sweep the bubbles from the skimmer chamber back into the tank before

they can dissipate. The airline should be cleaned every two weeks.

The powerhead and its air line may be dirty. Clean the whole unit every two weeks for

optimal performance.

The collection cup is not low enough. See instructions for the correct height of the

collection cup.

The biological load may not be sufficient to generate waste. On a new tank or a tank

with supplemental filtration it may take over a week to generate waste foam.

The airline or the air control valve may be blocked. Detritus, calcium and salt will build

up in these parts over time. Clean these parts every two to three weeks with warm tap

water.

The pump may need to be cleaned. If the pump becomes clogged with organic material

the flow rate and the air intake rates will reduce. Follow the instructions included with

* a small, clear, translucent bushing is located inside of the red cap. It can

pop out during disassembly, so be careful to not misplace that required part.
