Assembly, Installation, Start-up
Before you begin installation, please decide exactly where you want to install
the skimmer. It should definitely be located in the prevailing wind direction. The
skimmer must later be installed in such a way that the neutral water level lies
in the center of the opening, allowing for a 5 cm fluctuation in the water level
both up and down.
If possible, use 1½" pressure hoses and suitable hose clips for the hose
connections (skimmer to filter).
Smaller diameters are possible, though they result in reduced pump capacity.
