skimmers can be totally disas-
sembled. Thanks to new production processes with a pre-
cision range of 100/mm, all CNC-machined parts have a
so-called zero fit. This means that most of the parts are not
bonded to each other, but feature precise fits.
All screws are made from pure titanium, grade 2, and are
absolutely seawater resistant and rustfree.
Please detach the skimmer in the filter tank as far as pos
-
sible. Remove the pump, pull out the telescope tube and
unscrew the skimmer head. Please prevent the head from
falling off sideways. Clean the parts as far as possible by
a soft material and decalcify if necessary.
Please do
not
use sharp, abrasive or acid cleansers,
because the plexiglass is sensitive
to scratches.
Do not use hot-water over 50°C !
3.1. Disassembling the Plexiglas

riser tube
from the base plate (only internal skimmers)

skimmers are not glued to the base plate anymore,
but firmly fixed by screws. This allows lifting the riser tube
from the base plate to make the innards accessible to thor-
ough cleaning. Please proceed as follows:
First untighten the screws with an adequate screw driver.
Lift the tube from the base plate.
Caution:
The PVC-linkers are very
sensitive. DO NOT DROP!
After cleaning, reseat the tube into the bearing
(fig. left below) and tighten softly.
Attention:
Do not overtighten the screws in the base plate.
Untighten the screw from the jet pan with an Philips-tip
screw driver.
The jet pan opened (fig. left below). The bubble distribu
-
tion plate
cannot
be removed from the riser tube. Access
for cleaning is available through the upper opening (fig.
right below).
Hint for an optimal cleaning:
The skimmer tube should be
rinsed under flowing water with some chlorine. Chlorine
doesn’t damage the skimmer parts.
