So i finally upgraded my pump on my Tturboflotor 1000 to a Oceanrunner 2700 from the Rio 2100. I am producing no skim now. Installed it last night and this morning nothing. Lots of fine micro bubbles its just not rising in the cup! Any suggestions? I did clean the cup out when I replaced the circulation pump, cleaned out the hose from the Rio 800 and replaced the impeler. Everything looks to be as normal as it was before adding the pump. Actually looks like there is more and finer bubbles with th OR 2700. Just has not taken this long to build up pressure since I first installed the skimmer. The adjustment knobs are out of the skimmer which is the way I ran it with the Rio 2100. If i put the knobs back in and leave open the cup overflows with water. Does the pump need to break in? Does the skimmer need to break in again since its a different brand and size pump? Rio was 692 gph and the OR is 650 so that is a difference in pressure.
