page.
9. The recommended water level is between 5” to 7”.
The sump water line varies depending on sump size and water flow
10. Turn pumps on. Use with ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Skimmer will require 24 - 48 hours to “break-in” in some cases longer depending on the
bio-load, during which time an excess of waste and bubbles might appear. Let skimmer
run for a few hours before adjusting the water level. Once the skimmer has settled you
can adjust the water level inside the skimmer to obtain a better consistency in foam
production. The side opening on the second chamber is normal and will prevent the
water from getting to the collection cup. Keep skimmer in a calm area of the sump away
from turbulence. Dry skimming can be achieved by adjusting the water level in skimmer.
Use the water level adjuster (see page 2) to lower the water level. .
Note: Water on second chamber is normal and will not affect the performance of the
skimmer.

pumps from electricity (power supply) before performing maintenance, moving or
