Wet foam
First of all, lower the water level in the skimmer by turning the water level controller (Fig. 1, No.
4). With freshly prepared salt water or after using water conditioners or at extremely high loading,
excessive wet foam may be produced. This wet foam is forced into the cup, requiring more
frequent emptying than normal. After approx. one day, the aquarium load should be normal and
the skimmer will produce correct foam.
In new set-up aquaria, there is usually no reasonable skimming. The skimmer produces
large quantities of wet foam. This is normal and can be adjusted with the controller until
the foam cup is no longer full.
Dry foam / not enough bubbles
Not enough or too dry foam could be an indication that the needle wheel or air injection nozzle is
dirty. A thorough cleaning is recommended. Remove the pressure nozzle from the pump. If it's not
a problem of cleaning, increase water level inside the skimmer by the water level controller.
7. Maintenance
The collection cup should be cleaned regularly (daily or weekly, depending on organic load). The
reaction pipe of the skimmer needs to be cleaned only occasionally. The venturi pump should also
be removed and cleaned regularly so there is no negative impact on the air output. The pump has
to be removed and the complete pump housing and needle wheel flushed with clean water. The
same procedure should be undertaken with the air injection nozzle.
