Thanks for the replies!

I think I read somewhere on here that if You break the surface too much, it carbonates the water a bit lowering the PH. I was having that problem, so I adjusted them like You all mentioned; just barely breaking the surface and aimed them to get a slight cyclonic action. I have only one skimmer, so have to adjust it so the speed isn't too slow or too fast so the leaves go right in; hopefully.

Is is hard on the pump to add the chlorine to the skimmer? I have always just poured it in front of a return jet in the deep end.

Thanks,

Gary
