I run my csc450 in 5" of water and have 90 degree fitting on the inputs so it can draw water lower and not suck in air.
14" is unheard of ..... |

I too have noticed that the recommended water levels (for the 4 skimmers that I've owned) have been crap. I've always had to effectively run them at a lower water level (or raising skimmer).
