Recommendations
1
For best performance, clean the collection cup frequently with a sponge and warm water
2
It may require 2 – 4 weeks for the skimmer to reach optimal performance due to tiny amounts of oil or remnants left from manufacturing. Skimmer
performance may be erratic during this time; be sure to allow ample time for the skimmer to break-in before making adjustments. You can clean the
skimmer with warm water and sponge to shorten the break-in-period.
3
Regular maintenance of the pump will ensure a long life and maximum performance: recommended every 3 months.
You can disassemble the pump by following steps:
(1) Take off the air hose and connector to check if there's any clogging and clean it up. (especially the place marked on the photo)
It's common that the carbonate (limescale) builds up to form a very hard white substance.
(2) Loosen the nut ring to pull out the inside parts.

To Start
1
Fill skimmer with aquarium water until it flows out of the outlet.
2
Remove the air hose from the silencer, pick up the silencer and
water to prime the pump. (image
3
Plug-in, and wait until the pump primes,
and no air in the inlet tubes. This may
take a few minutes (verify the air hose is
immersed in water and the inlet/outlet
pipes are tightly connected). Once it's
done, water would be flushed out from
the outlet. (image )

Once the pump is primed and operating normally, pull the
air hose out of water and replace it on to the silencer.

The skimmer will take 2-4 weeks to reach optimal
operation. During the break-in period, we recommend
setting the collection cup in its highest position (with the
O-ring placed towards the bottom of the collection cup).
You can adjust the form of skimmate by simply
changing the position of O-ring.
O-ring level low

(3) Separate the inside parts to clean, espacially the impeller.
After assembly, test if the rotor could turn normally.
2
The water intake must be completely
submerged underwater when in use.
3
Hang the protein skimmer on the
aquarium. Adjust the positioning
screws so the skimmer is parallel to
your aquarium.
Caution! Over-tightening the
screws will damage the skimmer!
