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.
