1. Installation (putting into operation)
Take the Mini Bubble King (MBK) out of the packa ge and
check the skimmer for shipping damages. Your local dealer
must be notified about any damages within 24 hours. The
Mini Bubble King (MBK) is pre-installed and ready for opera-
tion and may be put into the filter sump for instant operation.
In order to get familiar with the device, do not install the
skimmer head yet.
The lower water level of the Mini Bubble King should
not
be
below 13 cm
and
should not
exceed 30 cm
.
The water level should ideally between 20 and 22 cm.
Plug the power cable into the corresponding socket.
Please note that sub water level pumps require a ground
fault circuit interrupter (FI safety switch).
Furthermore we recommend a frame connector with volt-
age surge protection which, in the case of a short circuit
in the mains, protects the
Red Dragon
®
(RD) pump from
electric shocks which would burn the internal fuse.
The motor cannot be repaired if the RD fuse blows - it must
be replaced.
Shortly after the pump is put into operation, a foam cush-
ion should appear, as demonstrated on the figure below.
(skimmer after starting the pump)
Run the skimmer in this way for several hours without the
skimmer head.
It
takes a while
for
new
skimmers to be able
to
produce solid foam
.
New skimmers may contain several substances such as
grease and glue residue which prevent foam from forming.
Depending on the contamination of your aquarium water
it may take from 2 minutes up to 1 week for solid foam to
form. It is not possible to make an accurate prediction as to
how long it will take for the skimmer to be properly run in.
Once the foam is solid enough, place the skimmer head
on the skimmer post. Before installing the skimmer head
make sure that the internal red O-ring is correctly placed
with no ripples or similar irregularities. These may cause
slight leakage.
If the foam is sufficiently solid, the water level can be ad
-
justed by turning the wedge shaped tube clockwise or
counter-clockwise.
The small screw on the side of the wedge-shaped tube
fastens the tube to its holder. The tool should only be light-
ly screwed and without the use of tools.
