open the water level adjuster (WAL) fully by turning it anti-clockwise (Diagram f)
-
switch on water supply through skimmer.
-
adjust the water level inside the skimmer with the feed line shut-off cock and the WAL
-
to somewhere between the top and bottom of the skimmer neck, see (Diagram g)
check the skimmer for possible damage and check the whole skimmer installation for
-
leaks.
Only for 1000ix – 12000ix: switch on the skimmer pump
-
Only for 2000i – 12000i: Switch on skimmer pump at desired level (controller).
-
to prevent initial over foaming and flooding of the skimmer cup, adjust the fine foam
-
level in the cup's riser tube to the bottom plate of the skimmer cup. This is achieved
by turning the WAL
wait a minimum of 48 hours for the final adjustment. Turn the WAL so that the fine
-
bubbles start bursting app. half way up the cup's riser tube.
for dry foam turn the (WLA) anti clockwise, for wet foam clockwise.
-
Important: Never allow the pump to run dry.
-
Only for 400i - 2000i: When pressing the feed timer button on the controller, the pump
will stop for 10 minutes and will resume automatically.

Ozone is an extremely aggressive gas which - if not used properly - can damage one's
health. For this reason, ozone should never be breathed in directly.
In addition, at high doses ozone can damage the skimmer.
The dosing of ozone must be set so that no free ozone can be discerned on the skimmer lid.
Deltec skimmers can be operated with between 20 and 50 mg/hours of ozone per pump. An
ozone-resistant T-piece is placed in the air hose above the skimmer pump. The free end of
the T-piece is connected to the ozonizer by means of an ozone-resistant hose. The air valve
of the skimmer must be throttled until air is independently sucked through the ozonizer.
