Assemble surface skimmer as per drawing. Pay attention to easy
movement of intake valve.
B
Installation
Place the skimmer in the aquarium in such a way that the intake
float lies on the surface of the water at an angle of approx. 45°. Pull
up float valve approx. 1 cm to begin skimming. Connect the skimmer
to the suction side of filter with hose.
C
In the case of filters 2215/17, 2226/28, 2250, 2260, 2315/17
and 2326/28, a T- reducing piece is necessary, so that a by-
pass is created (see illustration).
If the output flow of the filter is too high, a rattling of the valve may
occur. In this case too it is advisable to install a bypass (see ill. C).
D
Attention
The direction of flow must be towards the skimmer, i.e. surface
skimmer must be positioned on the opposite side of the aquarium
to the spray bar.
E
To shut off the intake float push float valve down. (feeding etc.)
In the case of young or small fish, only use the skimmer for
short periods. 10 minutes a day is sufficient.
Temporary foaming in the inlet pipe does not reduce the efficiency
of the skimmer or the filter.
A distance spacer is available for bridging large aquarium frames
(order no. 4004560).
