I have the sss-3000int... As stated prior, take forever to break in. I have been battling with mine now for about 2-3 months. Finally just starting to get it to create skimmate.
I found that in my case for my model. When I tried to run it in the recommended water depth, it was not stable. The unit just could not hold a steady water lever, thus not able to create any foam/skimmate.
I just took it off the stand I built to keep it at the recommended depth, now running it about 8 inches of water instead of 6-6.5 and it is running much better, will have to see over the next few days how it does actually work.
Edit: The bubble blaster pump seems to be great, powerful, and very very quite
