(open the flow valve) to reduce the skimming. This is
commonly referred to as "dry skimming".
It is advisable to empty the glass as soon as the liquid
level reaches 2‐3cm harvest, which should occur at
least weekly.
Warning: Finding the right point of skimming is
difficult and requires some experience. For the first
time it is normal to have difficulty in regulating the
flow valve.
It is possible to modify the skimmer air intake volume
rotating the air flow adjustment screw.
Warning: Do not connect pipes, filters or other
systems to the air suction line. Any modification could
compromise the operation of the skimmer
Rotating the adjusting screw clockwise decreases the
air intake. This operation reduces the extraction
efficiency but increases stability and allows the
skimmer to work

of surfactants.
Warning: Air regulation is recommended only for
experts users. An improper adjustment may limit the
performance of the skimmer or seriously damage the
pump.
