START
Remove the collection cup. Fully open the water flow
adjusting screw and the air adjusting screw. The
adjusting screw is completely open when the screw
protrudes about 25 mm from the support.
Turn on the pump and check the operation of the
product.
Let the skimmer run without the collection cup and wait
for the formation of a foam layer of about 1-2cm in the
upper part of the body.
Warning: A consistent air emission from the water flow
valve is normal. It may take a few hours or days to
stabilize the skimmer at the first start.
To increase or decrease the foam level, open or close
the flow valve as shown on the adjusting screw.
Warning: Screw adjustment must be done with little
variation over time. Wait at least 30 minutes after each
full turn of the regulation screw.
Close the flow valve until the foam reaches the top of
the skimmer without overflowing.
Put back in position the collection cup and the cover.
For the first week, the cup will fill up quickly and
collected liquid will be light in colour.
After about a week, the collected liquid should become
definitely darker and should accumulate more slowly.
Warning: In newly filled tanks, the skimmer may not
produce foam for a few weeks. This inhibition is caused
by residues of the oils used for the realization of the
hoses (rubber hoses).
SETTING
Skimmers are often subject to malfunctions due to the
conditions of the water of the water they process.
These phenomena are normal and usually does not
pose a risk to the tanks.
Warning: To solve any malfunctions, contact the
retailer or the distributors where you have purchase
the product.
If the amount of liquid collected in the collection cup is
too dense or insufficient, increase the level (close the
flow valve) to accelerate the skimming. This is
commonly referred to as "wet skimming".
Conversely, if the collection cup fill too quickly and the
accumulated fluid is too light, decreased the level (open
the flow valve) to reduce the skimming. This is
commonly referred to as "dry skimming".
It is advisable to empty the glass as soon as the liquid
level reaches 2-3cm harvest, which should occur at
least weekly.
Warning: Finding the right point of skimming is difficult
and requires some experience. For the first time it is
normal to have difficulty in regulating the flow valve.
Warning: Do not connect pipes, filters or other systems
to the air suction line. Any modification could
compromise the operation of the skimmer
