FIAP Skim Active
Description
For the mechanical water treatment of garden-ponds, close to nature swimming-ponds and swimming-
pools is the FIAP Skim Active a professional extraction system for water surfaces. In addition the
suction of the warm surface-water leads to positive biological effect in the filter system.

For filter systems with gravity version
Easy to install
Pipe connection DN100
Material plastics
Assembly
For an optimal degree of efficiency the device for the suction of the water-surface (FIAP Skim Active)
should be mounted against the main wind direction. The main wind direction is mostly the east bank.
So the dirt-particles can float perfectly in the direction of the suction-opening. To support this process
you can create additional water-streaming. During installation make sure that no plants or rocks are
placed in front of the suction-opening. They can reduce the efficiency of the device for the suction of
the water-surface (FIAP Skim Active).
For an even suction-effect use no 90-degree angle for the installed pipe DN100. Replace it with two
45-degree angles or arches instead. This guarantees an optimal suction effect.
During installation make sure that the wear ring will be installed around 150 mm under the maximum
possible water level. So you can compensate a water level fluctuation of around 150 mm easily.
Disposal
The device must be disposed by the national laws. Please ask your specialist dealer.
