DRY SKIMMING
1. Turn water level adjustment dial (3) until the micro-bubbles
fill approx. 10-15% of the collection cup cone (see diagram).
2. The micro-bubbles produce a dense foam layer which
rises to the top of the cone where it collects until the
dry foam overflows into the collection cup.
3. The result is a dry foam, consisting of concentrated waste
material.
WET SKIMMING
1. Turn water level adjustment dial (3) until the micro-bubbles
fill approx 50% of the collection cup cone (see diagram).
2. Wet foam is produced and rises to the lid then slides
down the collection cup cone as wet waste water.
3. The result is a wet foam consisting of diluted waste
material.
NOTE: Variables such as introducing new fish or invertebrates into the aquarium,
frequent feeding, adding supplements or medications, fluctuations in water quality,
water changes and maintenance may temporarily alter the performance of the V
2
Skim
Protein Skimmers.
USE WITH OZONE
V
2
Skim Protein Skimmers are suitable for use with ozone. By connecting the outlet of
the ozone generator to the air inlet (14) of the V
2
Skim Protein Skimmer, using ozone
resistant tubing (not supplied), the V
2
Skim"s patented venturi injection system will
automatically draw ozone gas into the main body of the skimmer.
USEFUL
TIP: Although ozone gas enhances the skimming process, should a reduction in
skimming performance be noticed following the addition of an ozone generator there
is a good chance that the ozone generator is either blocked or is limiting the amount
of air being drawn into the venturi injection system. This problem is easily overcome
by installing an air pump on the inlet of the ozone generator, thereby increasing the
level of air flowing through the ozone generator.
USEFUL
TIP:
When using ozone, the V
2
Bubble Stop can be used (without the filter
sponges) to house media, such as carbon, which is useful for filtering out any residual
ozone. V
2
Filter Media Bags are ideal for this purpose and are available separately
(part no. 5229).
Caution:Ozone is dangerous and should be used with care. Always refer to the
instructions and safety guidelines of the ozone generator manufacturer.
