Deltec Skimmer Series
Skimmer of the Deltec Skimmer Series are designed to operate only in external filter
sumps.
Installation
For best performance the water level in the filter sump (picture 1) should be between 160
and 250 mm. A prerequisite for continuous efficient performance is a constant water level in
which the skimmer operates. Ideally, a water level top up system should be used such as
the Deltec Aquastat 1001 or better still a separate skimmer compartment in the sump
(picture 2) with a hight between 160 and 250mm. The water level in the skimmer
compartment should be higher than in the rest of the sump, but within the levels
recommended for the skimmer model.
This compartment can be supplied with water from a bypass of the aquarium overflow.
