Tunze Nano 9002 Skimmer - No bubbles

Has anyone purchased a Nano 9002 skimmer lately? I bought mine on Boxing Day. I had it running on my QT tank for the last three weeks. I do not get any bubbles at all from it. At first I thought it was just breaking in. Took it apart and checked to make sure the air line was not kinked or plugged. If I blow in the air tube, I do get bubbles. I think it is the venturi. Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have a spare venturi in Edmonton, until I can get a new one? Thanks for the help. Leon

I don't have one of these, but there should be warranty on this

I got mine used it works great, maybe yours is defective?

Yes it is still under warranty, but they want me to ship it back (at my cost), and then hopefully get a replacement. In the meantime, my QT tank with two fish in it will be without a skimmer. I am trying to get them just to send out a replacement venturi asap. Thanks, Leon

i dont think you should have to pay the shipping for something that they sent you if its not working properly. but thats my opinion.

I know this may seem dumb but I'm going to ask. Is the hose connected to the top plate of the skimmer?
