Dang, I thought you were selling a Jet-Ski! You can always try a sponge or filter sock to block/absorb the micro bubbles.

Haha, yes a filter sock, although I'm sure someone has tried a foot sock before, anything that will deflect those annoying micro bubbles, also if the skimmer is new, you may see a reduction in bubbles after it has broken in for a few weeks. Good luck.

I used a dew rag for a while (nylon stocking cap). They stretch so they don't clog easily and they're just the right size.
