INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Original manual. The product complies with Directive
2006/42/CE.
This skimmer is a filtering system that allows the
removal of the surfactants from seawater. It pumps
seawater and air bubbles into a mixing chamber. By
exploiting the properties of the film surface tension
between air and water, it generates a foam
overflowing from the main chamber accumulating
surfactants extracted into a collection cup.
Warning: The use of the product involves reading,
understanding and acceptance of all conditions set
forth in the "Safety" manual attached. If you do not
find that manual immediately, contact our office!
Clean thoroughly with water and vinegar (diluted to
10%) each component that will go into contact with
water. Products that contains alcohol or solvents can
damage the acrylic.

Warning: This skimmer is designed to work only with
salt water (salinity 35%).
Place the skimmer inside the sump tank in a
comfortable and easily accessible position.
Warning: Adjust the water level in the sump to about
22cm.
Keep water level stable by overflow bulkheads or
through high quality osmocontroller.
START
Remove the collection cup. Fully open the water flow
adjusting screw and the air adjusting screw. The
adjusting screw is completely open when the screw
protrudes about 25 mm from the support.
Turn on the pump and check the operation of the
product.
Let the skimmer run without the collection cup and
wait for the formation of a foam layer of about 1‐2cm
in the upper part of the body.
Warning: A consistent air emission from the water
flow valve is normal. It may take a few hours or days
to stabilize the skimmer at the first start.
To increase or decrease the foam level, open or close
the flow valve as shown on the adjusting screw.
Warning: Screw adjustment must be done with little
variation over time. Wait at least 30 minutes after
each full turn of the regulation screw.
Close the flow valve until the foam reaches the top of
the skimmer without overflowing.
Put back in position the collection cup and the cover.
For the first week, the cup will fill up quickly and
collected liquid will be light in colour.
After about a week, the collected liquid should
become definitely darker and should accumulate more
slowly.
Warning: In
newly filled tanks, the skimmer may not
produce foam for a few weeks. This inhibition is
caused by residues of the oils used for the realization
of the hoses (rubber hoses).
SETTING
Skimmers are often subject to malfunctions due to the
conditions of the water
of the water they process.
These phenomena are normal and usually does not
pose a risk to the tanks.
Warning: To solve any malfunctions, contact the
retailer or the distributors where you have purchase
the product.
If the amount of liquid collected in the collection cup is
too dense or insufficient, increase the level (close the
flow valve) to accelerate the skimming. This is
commonly referred to as "wet skimming".
Conversely, if the collection cup fill too quickly and the
accumulated fluid is too light, decreased the level
