Adjust the amount of water flow, using a valve or the flow regulator of the water intake pump
connected to . The flow must be adjusted according to the here below table and your skimmer
model.

's skimmers can achieve different performances, by working on several fine calibrations.
You can obtain very different results by acting on the adjustments of the air, amount of water treated
and the level in the contact column.
Correct air flow
Wrong air flow or level in A too high
For fine adjust, use a graduated bowl to measure the amount of water flowing from the outlet pipe H .
Manufacturers always report a flow value for their
intake pumps. This is not a valid reference to setup
the skimmer. Once the water flow rate is properly
adjusted, rise or lower the height level of H to
bring the water level inside the column D close to
the base of the Contact Column neck. The water
should not fill the neck (water must fill the conical
part of the Contact Column , without entering the Collector Cup neck B ).
Turn on the pump and adjust the air flow through G in order to obtain a foam, not too dry but very
dense and dark. The air adjustment is empirical, according to the organic load of the tank, the skimmer
model and some other minor factors.
