Installation

1. The pump and associated parts can be found in a

small box. Unpack this box in order to assemble the

pump.

2. Ensure the air intake is attached firmly to the inlet of

the pump.

3. Attach the outlet of the pump to the base of the

inlet pipe. In order to do this, unscrew the threaded

connection, place it over the pump outlet, press the

pump into place and tighten the threaded fitting.

4. Remove the air flow adjustor from the top of the

airline and feed the airline through the airline holder on

the side of the skimmer outlet. Place the airline adjustor

back on the airline.

5. Ensure both outlet taps are fully open (turn anti-

clockwise to open).

6. Place the skimmer in the desired location. The

skimmer can be placed externally, hanging on the

side of the aquarium/sump, or internally in a sump.

The pump must remain submersed at all times during

operation.

7. There is a second airline hose attached to the base

of the collection cup. This is designed to drain the

collection cup into a separate container. Ensure this

airline always drains into a container such as an empty

PET bottle.

8. Switch the pump on at the power outlet. Ensure

the water level does not fall too low, as the aquarium

skimmer will fill with between 2.5-5L (depending on

skimmer model).

9. Adjust the water level using the outlet taps. The water

level will dictate the amount of bubbles that accumulate

int he collection cup. Water level should be checked

daily and adjusted accordingly over the initial run-in

period. For further advice concerning the adjustment

of your protein skimmer, consult your local Aqua One

retailer.

For "wet" skimming (light coloured waste), adjust the

outlet taps so that the water level is high in the skimmer

and substantial amounts of foam are being forced into

the collection cup.

For "dry" skimming (dark, coffee coloured waste),

adjust the outlet taps so that the water level is low and

only small amounts of foam are being forced into the

collection cup.

SPONGES

Remove and rinse the outlet sponges weekly to remove

any accumulated waste.

PUMP

The impeller should be removed and rinsed once a

month to remove any buildup. In the event that there

is significant calcium buildup on the impeller (or any

other part of the pump) it can be soaked in a container

of vinegar for 24 hours.

To access the impeller, turn the base of the pump 90°

and pull it away from the body of the pump. The impeller

sits on a ceramic shaft with rubber grommets at each

end. Ensure all these parts are in the pump when it is

reassembled.

COLLECTION CUP

The collection cup and attached airline should be rinsed

every 2-3 months. Airline should be check regularly for

blockages and replaced if required. After washing the

collection cup, the skimmer should be checked daily

for the subsequent 3-4 days to ensure water level

is correct. Removing the film insode the neck of the

collection cup during maintenance can result in slightly

reduced effectiveness of the skimmer for a few days.

The skimmer can be adjusted until performance is back

to normal.
