5.5. Principle of operation
The aquarium water is pumped to the skimmer using a separate pump (not included) which should
have a capacity of approx. 7,500 - 15,000 litres/hour. Inlet and outlet ports are arranged that way
that the air bubbles have the maximum contact time in the counter-current.
The venturi pump draws water from the skimmer and mixes it with air in the venturi nozzle. The
air/water mixture is pumped back into the skimmer. The treated water flows out of the bottom of the
skimmer and is pumped through the outlet pipe positioned outside the skimmer, back into the
aquarium or filter sump.
