IMPORTANT: The instruction manual you are holding includes essential information on the safety measures to be
implemented for installation and start-up. Therefore, the installer as well as the user must read the instructions before
beginning installation and start-up.
Keep this manual for future reference.
To achieve optimum performance of the Skimmer, follow the instructions provided below:
This installation and maintenance manual is for all square inlet and rectangular inlet 15 liter
and 17,5 liter Skimmers for paneled swimming pools,
1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
These Skimmers can be used both in public and private pools.
As a component of the filtering circuit, their main functions are to filter the surface water
ensuring water rotation in the pool, to control the water level of the pool and to connect a pool
floor cleaner.
Skimmers are made by forming rigid ABS and are highly resistant. There are no joins below the
water level as they are manufactured in one part. They are provided with two types of vertical
connections (1 ½" or 2" NPT depending on the version) enabling them to be used according to
requirements.
2. INSTALLATION
In order for the Skimmer to clean the surface correctly, before building the pool, it is advisable
to first plan its orientation, in order to place the inlets of the Skimmers against prevailing winds,
bearing in mind the model of the pool and water circulation.
To decide how many skimmers are required in the pool, it is recommended to keep to one
skimmer for every 25 m² of water sheet. At the same time, it should be observed that the
maximum absorption of each of them is approx. 5.000 liters/hour in 15 liter skimmers and
approx. 7.500 liters/hour in 17,5 liter skimmers.
As a general rule, in pools with 1 to 2 Skimmers, they should be placed along the width of the
pool and on the upper part of the deep end. In pools with 3 or more Skimmers, they should be
placed on one of the length sides of the pool.
In all cases, the Skimmers should be placed on the opposite side of the impulse nozzles (Fig.
1).
When the Skimmers are in operation, ensure that the water level is sufficiently high, to avoid the
absorption of air.
There are two pipes connected to the Skimmer, one will be from the suctioning of the pool floor
and the other will go to the pump.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE COVER IN THE 17,5 LITER SKIMMER
One of the new additions to this skimmer is the possibility to adjust the height of the lid and to
tighten it when necessary so that it lies flush with the floor (Fig. 7).
3. ASSEMBLY
The Skimmer should always be placed in the vertical position with the inlet at water level. The
assembly method will depend on the type of pool.
