Default Venturi on skimmer

As of recently I have to clean the venturi on my ASM G2 skimmer almost weekly because of calcum buildup in the air hose connection tubing. It gets clogged up then the skimmer overflows dumping all that junk back in my sump....how do others deal with this? I'm thinking of modding the collection cup to dump in a 5g bucket, but I'm worried that would overflow since the thing doesn't stop once the air hole is clogged up.
