Recommendations
For best performance, please clean the collection cup frequently. Use a sponge and
warm water to clean it. (DO NOT USE ANY SOAP OR CHEMICALS TO CLEAN THE
COLLECTION CUP).
While we take great care to keep any contaminants away from our products during
assembly, please take a moment to clean with warm water ONLY. Never clean Acrylic
with alcohol-based products. Use caution when handling acrylic scratches easily.
It may require 2 – 4 weeks for the skimmer to reach maximum performance due to
tiny amounts of oil or remnants left from manufacturing. Skimmer performance may
be erratic during this time and be sure to allow ample time for the skimmer to break-in
before making adjustments.
