The venturi is open about one and a half turns. Although I have read that opening it has very little effect. You can use this to fine tune skimmer.
Make sure you water level is between 7 to 8 inches. Keep the wedge pipe fully open and venturi closed.
Now slowly close the wedge pipe till the bubbles reach below where the cup screws on. Leave it in this position for atleast three hours.
After three hours watch where the bubbles are. If the reach the neck and over good otherwise keep closing slowly till they reach the neck.
Make only a small turn and wait for three hours. Only adjust after three hours. Skimmers take long to respond sometimes.
It also could be that 180i is huge for your system. It so happens that it pulls gunks rapidly then idles at times. When you see it idling you think the wedge pipe needs to open a little and adjusts it.
now when the DOCs are high it overflows or gives watery skimmate.
