    Bak Pak 2 Questions

    OK, I followed the suggestion of a few people here and got a CPR BakPak2. I have a few questions about it. As soon as I turned it on, it started to foam and collect a lot of bubbles into the collection cup, but it was pretty wet. From what I understand, it should be a dryer foam, is that right? Also, I had to empty the collection cup, as it filled up in less than an hour. I am afraid to keep this running over night, because at the rate it is skimming, I would have a flooded living room come morning. Can somebody suggest proper adjustments on this thing? I (RTFM) read the friendly manual. Other than maintenance and basic instructions, it is not very detailed. Sorry for the newbie questions

    Also, there is a TON of micro bubles emptying into the tank from the return tube...It says it is normal and should go away in 48 hours, if it doesn't any suggestions on getting rid of these bubbles?

    Thanks again!

    lower the rubber o ring on the collection cup a little.
    the higher the cup sits, the drier the foam and vice versa.

    bak pak makes a bubble trap that works fairly well.
