3. Remove all the water from the skimmer body.
4. Remove the venturi tube and air control valve and run water through the unit so that water runs through air control valve.

DISCHARGE SPONGE
If sponge clogs, the water level in the skimmer will increase causing the skimmer to collect foam/water in the collection cup. Clean twice a month and replace when needed.

COLLECTION CUP
Clean as needed. Keeping the collection cup clean insures a properly operating skimmer.
