In this case, the pump cannot suction any more water. It will run dry, which can damage the pump!
Operating information
1. Connect the Tele Skimmer 200 with hose and pump to a filter system.
2. The hose between skimmer and pump must be free of air and filled with water. Install the hose upwards
without bends, preferably with a slight rise from pump to skimmer, in order to avoid air bubbles forming in
the hose!
3. Lift the float before start of operation, in order to ensure a cushion of air under the edge of the float.
4. For filtration systems with very low flow rates the air cushion on the float may have to be reduced to
ensure that the water flows over the float.
To do this, use a saw, file, or knife to make uniform notches at several points in the inner float ring.
5. For cleaning, the filter basket can be removed by the clamp and emptied, even during operation.
If necessary, this process must be repeated and checked.
Winter maintenance
Ice and frost can destroy the Tele Skimmer 200!
To prevent damage, take the Tele Skimmer 200 out of the pond in autumn, clean it and store it in a frost-free
space during winter.
