Turboflotor T1000 adjusments
 

I'm new to this so please be easy on me.

I bought Turboflotor T1000 and the Ocean Runner 2700 pump to go with it, I
just hooked it up along with a Maxi-Jet 900 powerhead to feed the water to
the skimmer.

I'm not getting any bubbles produced, even tried hooking up an air pump to
the input with was overkill

there were absolutely NO INSTRUCTIONS that came with this thing and I've
tried adjusting it many different ways.

I don't give up easy but it sure would be nice to hear from someone with
experience dealing with this brand.

thanks,
James

It will take a while for the bubbles to form. The more organics in your
water the more foam.
I have been running one for several years.
To major items to be concerned about.
1. the air intake is not plugged (with salt, I use a syringe to alternately
blast and suck the salt out, every month).
2. adjust the water level in the column. This can be done by turning the
two outlet valves (adjusting the position of the hole in the valve). I run
mine with the valves max open and control the water level on the input.
That likely means a valve on the input (with the excess runnin to sump).

Be patient. Adjustments take about 5 minutes to equalize.
