OPERATION STANDARD SKIMMER

1. Install the weir door in the throat of the skimmer so that the 

spring loaded hinge pins pivot freely in the holes in the side of 
the throat allowing the weir door to move up and down with the 
water level Fig. 12.

2. Remove plugs
3. Install basket
4. Turn pump on and set control valves to desired flow to 

skimmer(s)

OPERATION VENTURI SKIMMER

 

1. Complete steps 1-4 above before proceeding.
2. After running water through return line to clear any construction debris from the line install the dual 

pressure nozzle in the venturi return line with the bayonet lugs by inserting and turning ¼ turn. Make 
sure the O-ring is in place or you may hear a squeal during operation. The pressure nozzles should 
face directly into the return port to the pool when twisted completely to the stop. Open the valve at 
the plumbing manifold fully. There is no further adjustment required.

DO NOT GLUE THE DUAL PRESSURE NOZZLE INTO THE 
FITTING!
 This must remain unglued so that it can be removed for 
cleaning or replacement and a threaded plug can be threaded into 

the bottom port in the event that winterizing is necessary.

NOTICE

 

3. The venturi skimmer may be operated simultaneously with the normal skimmer functioning or the 

suction from the pump may be shut off or not installed allowing only venturi powered skimming 
action taking place. Either way, a much stronger skimming action will result when compared to a 
standard skimmer. NOTE: THE INSTALLED VALVE CONTROLLING THE SUCTION SHOULD 
BE LEFT SLIGHTLY OPEN. THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHEN THE PUMP MAY BE 
“STARVED” WHEN 100% OF THE SUCTION IS COMING THROUGH THE MAIN DRAINS 
ONLY.

4. If a D.E. Filter is installed one suction line is plumbed to 

at least one skimmer in the pool. This line only needs to 
be opened when charging the filter with D.E. Note: The 
venturi dual pressure nozzle valve must be closed 
and off while charging the D.E. or it will be blown 
out into the pool.

5. At start up with optional ozone venturi feed line. 

Before installing the dual pressure nozzle in the skimmer 
venturi return line, insert the short end of the tubing kit 
into the side of the dual nozzle assembly. Insert the dual 
nozzle into the skimmer then plug the long end of the 
tubing kit into the port on the side of the skimmer below 
the basket rim. Fig. 13
