INSTALLATION (Akula)
Following the drawings in the manual, proceed with
assembling the product:
1. Disassemble the skimmer body and install the flow
valve system using the supplied screws.
2. Reassemble the skimmer body and connect the air
hose.
3. Place the skimmer in the technical tank and make
sure the water level is 22 cm.
4. Remove the collection cup. Fully open the water
flow adjusting screw.
5. Connect the controller and pump power. Turn on
the pump and check the operation of the product.
START
Let the skimmer run without the collection cup and wait
for the formation of a foam layer of about 1-2cm in the
upper part of the body.
Warning: A consistent air emission from the water flow
valve is normal. It may take a few hours or days to
stabilize the skimmer at the first start.
To increase or decrease the foam level, open or close
the flow valve as shown on the adjusting screw.
Warning: Screw adjustment must be done with little
variation over time. Wait at least 30 minutes after each
full turn of the regulation screw.
Close the flow valve until the foam reaches the top of
the skimmer without overflowing.
Put back in position the collection cup and the cover.
For the first week, the cup will fill up quickly and
collected liquid will be light in colour. After about a
week, the collected liquid should become darker and
should accumulate more slowly.
Warning: In newly filled tanks, the skimmer may not
produce foam for a few weeks. This inhibition is caused
by residues of the oils used for the realization of the
hoses (rubber hoses).
