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 purchased
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 (open
the flow valve) to reduce the skimming. This is
commonly referred to as "dry skimming".
It is advisable to empty the glass as soon as the liquid
level reaches 2-3cm harvest, which should occur at
least weekly.
Warning: Finding the right point of skimming is difficult
and requires some experience. For the first time it is
normal to have difficulty in regulating the flow valve.
Warning: Do not connect pipes, filters or other systems
to the air suction line. Any modification could
compromise the operation of the skimmer.
This series of skimmers treats a considerable quantity
of air, making it more sensitive to the water surface
tension. Product dosing or the simple contact of the
hands with water may cause variations in the level of
the foam even for a few hours.
Warning: It is important during this time to do not
adjust the level of the foam otherwise, once the
skimming is stabilized, it may flood the collection cup.
MAINTENANCE
Warning: An increase in the noise or vibration of the
product are caused by occlusion on the air intake or
from a worn impeller. You must take immediate action
to solve the problem.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the
product from power supply. Do not use abrasive
products, toxic and unsuitable for cleaning operation.
Every day: Visually check the functioning of the
product. If necessary, empty the collection cup.
Every 7 days: Check that the silencer is free from salt
encrustation, dirt or algae do not block the venturi air
connection.
Warning: The metal components may be subject to
surface oxidation, clean every sign of oxidation.
Every 60 days: Perform complete control by removing
the skimmer from the sump and taking it apart.
Carefully check the state of wear of the pump.
