5. Starting / Operation
The system can be started when the Turboflotor is correctly installed. After switching the pump on,
air is automatically drawn into the skimmer. To minimize the noise level, connect the air inlet tube
with the blue connecting piece of the silencer supplied. Fix the silencer with the holding device on
the aquarium or filter system above the water level.
The mesh wheel breaks the air into small bubbles. This method eliminates the greater proportion of
the noise. After the initial start, some hours may pass before the first foam is pushed into the
collection cup. This is due to a reaction between the surface of acrylic glass and aquarium water.
Equilibrium of electrical charges takes place. After a maximum of 24 hours, the foam should be
pushed evenly into the collection cup. The quantity of liquid and organic substances is dependant
on the pollution of the aquarium.
