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.
5.6. Installation
- Check that the sealing rings for the unions are in place.
Note:
1.
The valve at the bottom must be closed before you start to fill the skimmer!
2.
Ensure the availabilty of a sufficient quantity of usable salt water. The skimmer needs approx. 400 l to
be filled up.
