Maintenance:
Your Omega skimmer can be fully disassembled for thorough maintenance. A flathead screw driver is required
to perform this task. In order to disassemble your skimmer simply follow these steps:
1- Unplug the skimmer; never touch electrical outlets with wet hand. Do not attempt to service or
disassemble an electrical device when connected to electricity and/ or in operation.
2- Remove the skimmer from sump, drain the collection cup and skimmer body.
3- Remove the collection cup.
4- Unplug the air and ozone lines from the pump venturi.
5- Pull the pump away from the skimmer body, removing the pump from the skimmer.
6- Using a flat head screw driver remove all the screws from the skimmer base.
7- Gently remove the skimmer body from the base.
8- Unscrew the Titanium bolt holding the bubble plate down to the base chamber.
9- Silencer can also be disassembled for cleaning. Simply remove the silencer tube using a tilting back and
forth motion.
Your skimmer is now fully disassembled and can be fully cleaned before putting back in operation.
** Important point: Before assembling the skimmer and putting back in operation; it is imperative to place the
outer-ring section of the bubble plate that does not house any holes (solid section) directly above the skimmer
output-elbow. This will further reduce the possibility of any bubbles exiting the skimmer. To accomplish this,
connect the bubble-plate to the central holder-rod however do not fasten in place tightly. Once the body is placed
over the base and screw holes are aligned, simply turn the bottom chamber tube to align the hole with that of
the skimmer’s body. Now spin the bubble-plate to position its solid part over the skimmer’s exit-elbow and then
tighten the screw holding the bubble plate in place.
Disassembling your pump for decalcification, removing any possible debris from pump-head and/ or any other
service can be achieved following these steps below:
1- Remove the output-pipe from the pump by simply unscrewing in counter-clockwise motion.
2- Turn the pump-head gently observing the back of the pump-head. When holder slots from the pump-
block are visible you can remove the pump-head. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE PUMPHEAD OFF
FROM THE MOTORBLOCK! This will damage the pump-head and render pump-head unusable.
3- Gently remove the bearing plate from the motor block.
4- Hold the shaft using a dry cloth and remove it from the motor block.
