MAINTENANCE
Caution: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken when
using this electrical appliance near water.
Caution: Always isolate the pump from mains electricity before installing or carrying out
any maintenance to the skimmer.
The V²Skim 120 Protein Skimmer should need very little adjustment and maintenance once
set up correctly. However, due to salt deposits and the high calcium level in marine
aquariums it is common for deposits to build up and it is recommended that the skimmer is
cleaned periodically.
1. To operate efficiently, the skimmer must be in use 24 hours a day.
2. Make sure all connections are tightly secured.
3. Check regularly if skimmer is functioning properly and producing
the desired foam consistency and waste material.
4. When the collection cup is full, ensure all waste material is removed.
5. Remove collection cup (see diagram 5) and clean any organic build up
or salt and/or calcium deposits from the collection cup and neck.
6. Ensure the water outlet, water inlet and the air inlet are clean and
free of blockages.
7. Clean the skimmer regularly. USEFUL TIP: The unique design
allows all parts of the V²Skim 120 Protein Skimmer to be easily
accessed for simple cleaning and maintenance. Just follow the
