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 skimmer 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).

Assembly Skimmer Adjustment
Maintenance
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.

Regular maintenance of the pump will ensure a long life and maximum performance.
You can clean the pump and its components by soaking in a general citric acid solution
(citric acid:water=1:1) once every 3 months. Disassemble the pump by following steps:
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
