Installation - Deltec Skimmer 400i Operating Instructions Manual

Deltec Skimmer Series
Skimmer of the Deltec Skimmer Series are designed to operate only in external filter
sumps.

Installation

Please refer to the technical data for the recommended water level in the sump (Fig. 1).
A prerequisite for continuous efficient performance is a constant water level in which the
skimmer operates. Ideally, a water level top up system should be used such as the Deltec
Aquastat 1001 or better still a separate skimmer compartment in the sump (picture 2).
The water level in the skimmer compartment should be higher than in the rest of the sump,
but within the levels recommended for the skimmer model.
This compartment can be supplied with water from a bypass of the aquarium overflow.
