While we take great care to keep any contaminates away from our products during assembly, please take a moment to clean the skimmer and
plumbing before attaching to your tank. Only clean your product with warm water. Never clean Acrylic with alcohol based products. Use
caution when handling as 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.
Regular maintenance of the pump will ensure a long life and maximum performance: recommended every 3 months.
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).

Operation

The pump must be completely submerged underwater when in use. Running the pump dry or in too low of a water level will damage the pump.
For proper performance of the quick-precise adjustment valve, the water in your sump must not be any higher than the following levels:
CO-2 CO-3 CO-5 CO-6
215 - 230 mm 215 - 230 mm200 - 220 mm 200 - 220 mm

Skimmer Adjustment
Turning the quick-precise
adjustment knob will change the
water level within the skimmer
body chamber.
Turning the knob counterclockwise will open the outlet pipe, causing the water level within the chamber
to drop. Generally, opening the valve will lead to drier skimmate that is dark in color.
Turning the knob clockwise will close the outlet pipe, causing the water level within the chamber to rise.
Generally,closing the valve will lead to wetter skimmate that is light in color.
As a starting point, it is recommended to adjust
the water level within the skimmer body to
where the collection cup meets the neck.

For daily maintenance, pull out the plug of the
drain tube to let out the skimmate.
The venturi should be cleaned monthly and flushed weekly, due
to the air to water interface calcium carbonate (limescale) builds
up to form a very hard white substance.
Remove the limescale by soaking in a general citric acid
solution (citric acid:water=1:1)
