ATI Powercone 200is with jebao dct-4000

Recently I had to replace my old pump and bought jebao pump dct-4000 for my skimmer.I drive the skimmer on lowest setting on controller,but it seems that this pump is too strong,it overflows constantly.I put skimmer higher,it seets in 15cm water now, but does not help much.Anyone has any experiences with this skimmer and pump please share.
Thanks everyone for help.

Hello,

I run mine at 50% on controller and gate valve fully open.
Water level in sump is 16 centimeters.
But ran it at 20 % when the skimmer was in break in period to avoid overflow.

Hope it helps.

Feel free to share your settings after stabilization.
I'm interrested in the max speed you can reach with this skimmer.
Have a nice day.

The setting is on lowest on controller and it doesnt overflow at all.I am afraid to raise the power because I am not very often at home to watch on the skimmer.
