1. Commissioning (putting into operation)
Remove the packaging from the Bubble King
®
Double
Cone and check the skimmer for transport damages which
must be immediately notified to the responsible retailer
within 24 hours.
The pre-installed Bubble King
®
Double Cone is ready for
operation and can be instantly installed on a filter sump,
for example. First, drain the pot to enable easy handling
of the unit.
The water level of the Bubble King
®
Double Cone
130/150 should be
at least 15 cm
and
not
exceed 20 cm
. The ideal water level is 17 cm.
180/200/250/300 should be
at least 20 cm
and
not
exceed 25 cm
. The ideal water level is 22 cm.
Connect power plug to socket. Please note that immer-
sion pumps require a power source with a residual current
circuit breaker. Furthermore, we recommend a connector
strip with over-voltage protection to prevent voltage spikes
and triggering of the fuse inside the
Red Dragon
®
pump
in the event of power supply short circuits. In the event
the fuse of the pump is triggered, the motor cannot be re
-
paired and must be replaced.
Shortly after starting
the dispersant pump,
foam will appear –
The photo shows the
right connection of the
dispersant pump.
Photo below: Let the skimmer run for several hours without
placing the pot on top.
In general,
new
skimmers require
a
certain amount
of time
to produce
firm foam
.
New skimmers can contain numerous foam-preventing
substances such as adhesive residues, fats or other simi
-
lar impurities that prevent formation of foam. Formation
of firm foam can take between 2 minutes and one week,
depending on the contamination of your aquarium water.
A general statement on the amount of time needed for a
skimmer to run smoothly cannot be made.
As soon as the foam is firm enough screw the pot onto the
column. Please make sure that the O-ring on the inside is
firmly attached to the notch, without distortion, warping or
other irregularities, as they may result in minor leakage.
If the foam is now sufficiently firm, you can carefully adjust
the water level in the skimmer by turning the wedge shaped
tube clockwise or counter-clockwise
(see photo: observe
the change in the skimmer at the turning of the wedge tube).
There is a small screw at the edge of the wedge shaped
tube holder with which the wedge shaped tube can be
clamped into the guide holder.
(functional principle wedge
shaped tube next page)
The screw should only be tightened loosely without using
any tools.
Risk of breakage!
