Why is my Carbon Skimmer so Slow?

[Jak]

Is it supposed to be this slow? It's generating 1 polluted water bit every few second.
Nvm I solved the problem thank you everybody

Carbon skimmer only produce waste when it is removing co2 and it does it super fast. It is actually a good thing if it isn't on all the time since that means you are clean.

Low to no CO2 pressure. It's doing its job tooo well.

Carbon skimmers will mark the top of the CO2 pool. if they're not in or right above one, they don't have much to do

[Jak]

It's completely covered in it.

Show your setup.

It could be an issue with power supply. Thats an issue i had at first when i thought I had two seperated setups, but they were accidently connected and power wasn't getting to my skimmer.

Couple things to look at:

1. How many of the 4 tiles the skimmer covers are actually CO2?
2. Of those CO2 tiles what is the current pressure?
3. Is your skimmer at the bottom of your base?
4. Is your skimmer on the right side of your base (gas accumulates diagonally, favoring the right)
5. Is there sufficient water pressure going to the skimmer?
6. Is there any other output pipe that could block the skimmer's output?
7. Is the output of that pipe a nozzle? Is it submerged?

I have 2 skimmers in my pretty huge base, one of them runs 100%, the other kicks in once in a while.. Skimmers have significant capacity, you don't need to put more than a couple.

EVERYONE. Nevermind, the problem was fixed.

[Walter Matthau]

Did you try turning it off, and then back on again? That usually solves the problem.

I have this problem now, Always had.
It only removes 300g CO2 each 8 seconds not 1.
This means i need 8x more carbon skimmers to not get flooded with CO2.
