Select a suitable place to set your protein skimmer
1. For best results place the skimmer in 8 to 10 inches of water. Please make sure that the skimmer

function properly.
2. The pump must be completely submerged underwater when in use.

To Start
1. Plug in the pump.
2. The main chamber will fill with bubbles. Carefully adjust the Quick-precise adjusting valve
(clockwise to close, the water level in the chamber will go up; counter-clockwise to open, the
water level will go down). Adjust the water level within the skimmer to where the cup meets
the neck.
Recommendations
• For best performance, please clean the collection cup frequently. Use a sponge and warm water
to clean it. (DO NOT USE ANY SOAP OR CHEMICALS TO CLEAN THE COLLECTION CUP).
• Regular maintenance (see below) of the pump will ensure a long life and maximum
performance.
• It may require 2 – 4 weeks for the skimmer to reach maximum performance due to tiny amounts
of oil or remnants left from manufacturing. Skimmer performance may be erratic during this
time and be sure to allow ample time for the skimmer to break-in before making adjustments.
