Deltec MCE 300 Mode D'emploi Et Pièces Détachées page 7

Use with ozone
skimmers are suitable for use with ozone and will automatically suck the gas through the venturi
hose. A maximum volume of 25 mg/h should be used on tank volumes that are suitable for this skimmer. Do
not use excessive ozone, as it is dangerous and can cause severe headaches.
Maintenance
The Deltec skimmer range should need very little adjustment and maintenance once set correctly however
due to the high levels of calcium in marine aquariums it is common for deposits to build up on moving parts
requiring periodical cleaning. It is recommended every 3 months, or when required, that the pump is removed
from the skimmer.
Check and clean the impellor of debris. Make sure that the impeller rotates freely on the shaft. If not
submerge in lime scale remover.
A build up of calcium, dust and salt can restrict or block the air inlet (15) and reduce the skimming efficiency.
This should be checked and carefully cleaned with a toothpick or fine drill rotated between the fingertips. It is
advisable to stop the pump for approximately 15 minutes once every week in order to dissolve any dust or
salt crystals that may have collected in the air inlet.
