Skimmer going crazy today

stumpy08 · 01/24/2009, 09:29 PM

I painted my living room today and noticed my skimmer had filled the collection cup 1/2 way and was producing alot of micro bubbles.
Is that normal? Should I just unplug it for a couple days?
I don't want it over flowing while I'm asleep tonight.
