If I leave it on, it goes nuts since the sump level increases when the pump is off. When the pump is on and the skimmer is off, the sump level is around 1/2 to 1" higher for the skimmer. I wonder whether that's the culprit. But then again, when the skimmer starts sucking up water, the level stabilizes but still it overflows for a few secs.
