Maintenance

Collection Cup
Monitor the amount of skimmate that accumulates in the collection cup
and drain the cup on a regular basis. Skimmer performance will benefit
from using the neck cleaner on a daily basis and will enable you to only
remove and wash the cup and wiper every 7 – 10 days. If you wash the
cup with detergent make sure to rinse it thoroughly before returning it to
the skimmer.
Skim-sensor
It is recommended to rinse the probes of the skim-sensor about once
a week to remove any build-up of organic matter. Rinse by immersing
and swirling the probes for a few seconds in the sump will be sufficient
to keep the probes working well. It is best to do this when the skimmer
is off otherwise rinsing the sensor will cause the skimmer to go into
self-leveling mode and will require pressing the resume button to restore
normal skimming immediately.
If a more intense cleaning is done such as using a mild acid or abrasive
pads to remove deposits the sensor should be recalibrated before
returning to normal use.

Skimmer Pump & Impeller
Over time mineral and organic deposits will form inside the
pump affecting its performance and longevity. For best results it is
recommended to remove the pump from the skimmer once a month for
cleaning.
Open the pump impeller chamber, pull out the impeller and rinse all
parts under the tap.
If you see any buildup of scale on the inside of the pump housing or on
the impeller magnet, use hot water or vinegar/scale remover to dissolve
it. Make sure that you rinse off all residues of any cleaning materials
before reassembling the pump.
