Maintenance; Technical Data - Deltec TC 1000ix Operating Instruction

The Deltec skimmer range should need very little adjustment and maintenance once set
correctly however due to the high levels of calcium in marine aquariums it is common for
deposits to build up on moving parts requiring periodical cleaning . Deltec pumps are fitted
with little flaps inside the outlet of the pump and inside the housing, which flip from one
side to the other depending on the direction of rotation thus ensuring that the pump always
operates at full duty. It is recommended every 6 months, or when required, that the pumps
are removed from the skimmer having first drained the body of Water.
Check and clean the impellor of debris. Ensure that the direction flap moves easily and if
necessary soak the neck of the pump housing in white vinegar or lime scale remover to
dissolve any calcium carbonate deposits. A build up of calcium, dust and salt can restrict or
block the venturi inlet on the connecting pipe work and reduce the skimming efficiency. This
should be checked and carefully cleaned with a toothpick or fine drill rotated between the
fingertips.
It is advisable to stop the pump for approximately 15 minutes once every week in order to
dissolve any dust or salt crystals that may have collected in the venture tube.
