Tunze Nano 9002 Skimmer - No bubbles

Disassemble the venturi. There's a small elbow that feeds air into the venturi - this can get calcified and not allow air through. If you had the water level too high and it sucked a lot of water into the venturi, this happens and clogs the air intake. You might be able to force a small amount of air through, but the force of the venturi isn't enough to suck air through.

I've had this happen on my old 9002 a bunch of times. Here's what the part looks like, and what the calcification can look like:


Soak it in vinegar for an hour and it should be good as new.

EDIT: I just reread the post about backflow - do you have the venturi assembled backwards?

Not sure how it could be assembled backwards. This thing is pretty straight forward. Hopefully Jeff will get back to me today with a solution.

Any issues Jeff will take of you, don't sweat it.
