• 7.3 Skimming pump cleaning
Important attention should be given to the pump E . Between the ceramic shaft and bushings you
will have calcification deposits, as well as in the compartment of the pump impeller. These deposits
will cause frictions, noises, overheating, a premature consumption and quick decrease of the skimmer
performances. Periodically, and in the case of precipitation of calcium (kalkwasser, etc.), you must
perform a strong washing of all internal components with dilute hydrochloric acid or vinegar.
