1.1 Product information
Skimmers that comply with technical standards and regulations for public
and private swimming pools, operating at home and abroad, are designed and
manufactured in accordance with the following regulations.
•DIN EN 13451 Swimming pool equipment, volume 1 and 3
Volume 1: General safety tests, requirements and test methods
Volume 3: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for inlet,
outlet and water/air categories
•DIN EN 15288-1:2008+A1:2010, volume -1: safety requirements for design
All built-in elements are suitable for concrete and foil pools.
•DIN EN 16582 Safety requirements and test methods, volume 1 3:–
Volume 1: General safety requirements and test methods.
Volume 2: Specific safety requirements and test methods for swimming pools.
Volume 3: Specific safety requirements and test methods for ground pools.
•The skimmer must also be connected to an additional potential equalisation
protection if there is a conductive connection to an electrical device (filter
pump). This can occur, for example, if the surface cleaner is connected to
the filter pump with electrically conductive pipes.
•In case of contact with reinforcement, it is also necessary to include a
surface cleaner for additional compensation of protective potential
•With regard to electrical installations in swimming pools, the following points
should be noted in: DIN VDE 0100 Teil 702
Keep this manual because it contains all important product information.
2. LOGISTIC & STORAGE
Condensation can be formed under the influence of high humidity and
changing temperatures for a long time. Local corrosion cannot be excluded.
Then the cleaning described in chapter 7 must be carried out.
In case of transport, the device must be secured in order to avoid any damage
that could result from improper transport.

5. ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
5.1 Quantity and availability
Depending on the type and shape of the pool, 1 skimmer per approx. 30
square metres of swimming pool is assumed. The skimmer should be selected in
such a way that the selected position ensures a sufficiently good flow in all areas
of the pools and no stagnation is created.
For open-air bathing and swimming pools, the surface cleaners should always
be positioned with the opening towards the main wind direction to help clean the
water surface.
5.2 Distance and availability
Skimmer equipment requires a lot of space and safe access in the pool area.
The area must under no circumstances be obstructed or blocked. The
recommended water level in the skimmer is indicated on the pattern
5.3 Installation
To ensure an even flow through the pool, the floor main drain connection
should be connected to a common suction pipe. It is recommended to use a two-
way valve with a reducer, which will simplify the installation and regulation
process.

6.INSTALLATION
6.1. Installation in PVC liner and fiberglass pools.
Before starting the installation, it is necessary to protect yourself
with personal protective equipment and appropriate tools necessary to
install the skimmer in the PVC liner.
Before starting the installation, make sure that the skimmer contains
all the parts shown in the picture.
When the skimmer is fully delivered prior to installation, unscrew the skimmer,
remove the cover and frame with gaskets and a flange.
Then place the skimmer body in the pool wall so that water can be removed from
a certain level. After the body has been installed, the skimmer cover must be
mounted.
Finally, place the EPDM so that there is a cut film between them, press the EPDM
against the flange and tighten them with the screws included in the kit. At the
very end, install the skimmer frame SS316 by pressing it against the skimmer
hole.
6.1.2 Installation diagram
First, pull out the frame by catching it and dynamically pulling it out.
Then unscrew the screws with an Allen key. Then remove the flange and two EPDM
gaskets in turn.

In a properly prepared place for mounting the Skimmer, place the element
by screwing the inlet pipe to the 2" female or 2 1/2" male thread connection of the
skimmer. Also connect the PVC pipe to the drain pipe
After connecting to the inlet pipe, put the skimmer cover on top. When cutting the
liner, make sure that it is between the two EPDM gaskets and then press the flange SS316
against the front of the skimmer using the Allen screws included in the kit. Finally, press
the SS316 frame forward so that it is not possible to disconnect from the rest of the
skimmer.

6.1.3 Grounding connection of the device
When connecting to electrically conductive equipment, place a
grounding wire between the two washers and nuts on the pin. The
DIN VDE 0100 Volume 702 standard for electrical installation in
swimming pools must be observed.
The device should always be earthed regardless of whether it is
connected to electrical equipment or not

7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
7.1 Maintenance
CAUTION!
During maintenance and care work, all pumps must be switched off
so that no suction is possible.
It is very important not to damage the texture of the ground or polished surface
when cleaning products made of stainless steel. The use of pickling agents and
mechanical tools for surface cleaning can lead to a loss of anti-corrosion
properties. Do not bring carbon steel into contact with stainless steel.
Depending on the type and concentration of the substance in the water, pink spots
may appear
These areas can be treated quickly and easily with a special cleaning and polishing
pad. The limits for chlorides must be observed for the correct operation of
stainless steel components:
max. chloride (Cl) content in water up to 30ºC is 500 mg / l or 0,08 % salt
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage caused by exceeding the
maximum chloride content of the pool.
Check the suction basket inside the skimmer regularly and clean it if there is
visible dirt.
In indoor swimming pools there are higher concentrations of substances that can
cause corrosion, so it is recommended to clean the pool more often.
If possible, we recommend a maintenance contract with your local pool cleaning
specialist.
STAINLESS STEEL S OULD NOT BE USED FOR CLEANING:
- products for mortar removal
- diluted hydrochloric acid
- bleaches
- silver cleaners
- carbon steel wire brushes
- purifying wool
- steel scrubbing cushions
FOR CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE:
- fabrics
- chamois leather
- nylon sponge

7.2 Repair
CAUTION!
Personal protective equipment must be used before removing dirt and
contamination from the steel surface.
7.2.1 Cleaning of pollution
type of pollution cleaning products
fingerprints soapy water or detergent, chloride-free glass
cleaners
limescale solution of ¼ vinegar and hot water¾
oils and lubricants alcohol-based products (including methyl
alcohol and isopropyl alcohol) solvents, e.g.
acetone, cleaning agents for chromium plated
parts
paints paint strippers, based on alkali compounds
or solvents
cement and mortar water with a small amount of vinegar at an
early stage, in the case of older pollutants -
a solution containing a small amount of
phosphoric acid, followed by water (preferably
demineralised)
iron particles from tools or contact with
structural steel
at an early stage - mechanically, in the
case of pits - etching and passivation pastes
7.2.1 Repairing surface damage
type of damage method of repair
minor scratches use a polishing agent (for stainless steel or
chromium) with a soft cloth, suede leather
or nylon sponge
deeper scratches use the non-wovens for stainless steel
together with water, then apply polishing
agent as follows to restore shine
greater damage, cavities in the material larger damages can be repaired only by a
specialist through the use of equipment and
abrasives for stainless steel, material losses
require locksmith's and welding interventions
and restoration of the passive layer

ATTENTION!
maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by trained and
approved technical personnel.
