5. Starting/Performance

The system can be started when the Turboflotor is correctly installed. After switching the pump on,

air is automatically drawn into the skimmer. To minimize the noise level, connect the air inlet tube

with the blue connecting piece of the silencer supplied. Fix the silencer with the holding device on

the aquarium or the filter system.

The needle wheel breaks the air into small bubbles. This method eliminates the greater proportion

of the noise. After the initial start, some hours may pass before the first foam is pushed into the

collection cup. This is due to a reaction between the surface of the acrylic glass and the aquarium

water. Equilibrium of electrical charges takes place. After a maximum of 24 hours, the foam should

push evenly into the collection cup. The quantity of liquid and organic substances is dependent on

the pollution of the aquarium.

6. Problems

Adjustments: The Skimmer is adjusted using the flow control tap (1-4), so it works in the

optimum. This adjusts the water level in the reaction chamber. If the foam is too wet, even when

the flow control tap is fully open, the neck extension(1-6) can be mounted to adjust the foam

production.

Air bubbles: Reduce the length of the hose between pump and skimmer. The pump should be

placed close to the surface otherwise more air and less water will be sucked in because of the

increasing water pressure. Result: Many air bubbles are leaving the skimmer, wet foam will fill the

foam cup in a very short time.

If the skimmer is added to an existing aquarium there may be a high concentration of organic

substances already dissolved in the water. This results in very tiny bubbles in the skimmer. These

tiny bubbles remove the organic substances effectively, however it may be that some of these

bubbles are drawn back into the aquarium. After a few days, the concentration of organic

substances will have decreased to such low levels that this effect will have gone and the water flow

is free of air bubbles.

Some types of frozen food may have the same effects. It is best to thaw and wash the food prior to

feeding it to the fish. The air bubbles will stop after a short period by themselves.

Wet foam: With freshly prepared sea water, after using water conditioners or at extremely high

loading, excessive wet foam may be produced. This wet foam is forced into the cup, requiring more

frequent emptying than normal. After approximately one day the aquarium load will be normal, and

the skimmer will produce the correct foam.

Dry foam: Not enough foam or too dry foam could be an indication that the needle wheel is dirty,

or the venturi is obstructed. A thorough cleaning is recommended. Remove the hose connection

from the pressure side of the pump.

Increase the water level inside the skimmer with the flow control tap. Remove the neck extension .

7. Maintenance

The collection cup should be cleaned regularly (daily or weekly, depending on the organic load).

The reaction pipe of the skimmer needs to be cleaned only once or twice a year. The venturi pump

should be also cleaned from time to time. The pump has to be removed and the complete pump

housing and the Needle wheel flushed with clean water. The same procedure should be undertaken

with the air injection nozzle.
