Select a suitable place to set your protein skimmer

To Start

1. 

For best results place the skimmer in 7 to 8 inches of water. Please make sure that the 

skimmer is in no more than 8 inches of water. Otherwise, the Quick- precise adjus�ng 

valve will not func�on properly.

2. 

The pump must be completely submerged underwater when in use

1. 

Plug in the pump.

2. 

The main chamber will fill with bubbles. Carefully adjust the adjus�ng valve (clockwise 

to close, the water level in the chamber will go up; counter-clockwise to open, the 

water level will go down). Adjust the water level within the skimmer to where the cup 

meets the neck.

3.

Once the bubbles reached the bo�om of collec�on cup, you can start to adjust the 

water level according to your preference. If you prefer wet wastewater, you need the 

high water level; Conversely, if you want dry wastewater, just let your water level 

goes down.
