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).

Maintenance
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.
Turning to separate
the nut ring.
Pull out the
pre-chamber
Lift the pump softly to
separate the pump.
Pull out the venturi.
The collection cup should be cleaned
frequently with a sponge and warm water.
For daily maintenance, pull out the plug of
the drain tube to let out the skimmate.
(DO NOT USE ANY SOAP OR CHEMICALS)
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)

Operation
1.
2.
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 250 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.
