Place the skimmer in the
appropriate location in your
sump. Hold it down and
allow it to fill with water.
Ensure that the venturi
intake is positioned more
than 1cm away from any
walls or obstructions in
the sump to avoid flow
restriction.
Optimum water level for
operation is 15-20cm. Try
to position the skimmer in
a spot where water level is
consistent.
