skimmarine 600 - Water filter EHEIM - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL skimmarine 600 EHEIM

• for the removal of metabolic products in saltwater aquariums up to approx. 600 l

• in compliance with the technical data The following limitations apply to the appliance:

• do not use for commercial or industrial purposes

• the water temperature may not exceed 35°C English 14•Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.

• Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before opera- ting it.

• Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance and its cord.

• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

• Check that the voltage shown on the label of the unit corresponds to the volta- ge of the mains supply.

• Disconnect all electrical appliances from the mains before placing hands in the water.

• The line cord of this unit cannot be replaced or repaired. Should the line cord become damaged the appliance must be discarded.

Safety instructions Risks for persons and property can arise from this appliance if the appliance is improperly used or not used as intended or if the safety instructions are not heeded. For your safety• This appliance can be used by children from the age of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili- ties or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are super- vised and have been instructed in the safe use of the applian- ce and have understood the resulting dangers. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.

Before use, carry out a visual inspection to ensure that the appli- ance, especially the mains cable and plug, are undamaged.

Repairs must only be carried out by an EHEIM service centre.

Do not carry the appliance by the mains cable, and to dis- connect from the mains, always pull on the plug and not on the cable or appliance.

Only carry out the work described in these instructions.

Only use original spare parts and accessories for the appliance.

To protect against contact voltage being too high, the fixture must have a residual current device with a rated release fault current not exceeding 30 mA. Ask your electrician.

In the event of water leakage or when the residual current pro- tection device is triggered, immediately disconnect all devices in the aquarium from the power supply.

If they are not being used, always disconnect all devices in the aquarium from the power supply before you install/remove any parts and before all cleaning and maintenance work.

Protect the mains socket and mains plug against moisture. It is recommended to form a drip loop with the mains cable to prevent any water running along the cable to the mains socket.

Precision control valve

Small gear wheel with screw

Screw for the large gear wheel

Water level regulation plate

Plastic screw M6 x 20 mm

Plastic screw M4 x 8 mm

Pressure side connection

Pump cover with locking ring.

The electrical data of the pump must match the data of the power mains. This data is found on the type plate, the packa- ging and in these instructions. English

B Assembly a Loosen the four knurled screws

and lift off the skimmer housing

b Loosen the Phillips screws

c Insert the skimmer pump, fit the pump holder on the left and right in the side groove of the pump and secure it to the base plate

using the Phillips screws. d Place the reaction chamber

on the pump discharge and secure it to the pump connection with the connecting piece

using the knurled screw

e Before the assembly of the reaction chamber observe the following: It is imperative that the lid of the reaction chamber is fitted in such a way that the section of the reac- tion chamber cover that has no apertures is located directly over the pump outlet. 2211f Fit the skimmer housing to the skimmer plate

again and tighten the four secu- ring screws. g Fit the silencer

using the plastic screw

on the edge of the housing and connect it to the diffusor nozzle

h With slight pressure, insert the diffusor nozzle into the pump inlet of the skimmer pump. i Guide the precision control valve

through the eyelet on the skimmer housing. Fit the small gear wheel with screw

meshing with the large gear wheel

under the skimmer plate

of the skimmer. Fit the sealing ring

to the bottom of the foam cup

. Fit the foam cup and secure it by turning the bayonet fixing

anticlockwise. TIP: The foam cup has a connecting piece for a suspended material drain.

C Positioning of the Skimmer Place the skimmer in the filter tank. j In order to ensure optimum operation, the water level in the filter tank should be 180 to 240 mm. Given that changes in the water level directly affect skimming, the use of an automatic level control, EHEIM waterrefill Type 3548, is recommended. Tip: Changes in the water level directly affect the operation of the protein skimmer. Therefore, we recommend the use of the EHEIM waterrefill Type 3548 automa- tic level control. k First, fully open the precision control valve and then stat the pump. Slowly close the precision control valve until the water in the skimmer levels out between the bayonet fixing and the foam cup. Half open the air intake valve (turn the air mete- ring screw

anticlockwise 1 - 2 mm upwards) and leave it in this position for 1-2 days (start-up phase). Once foam begins to form after the start-up phase, the fine adjustment for the opti- mum skimming can be made by adjusting the air supply valve and the precision con- trol valve. D Setting the skimmer 2288English

l For dry skimming, turn the precision control valve clockwise and open the water outlet. For moist skimming, turn the precision control valve anticlockwise and close the water outlet. The EHEIM skimmarine600 can be operated with ozone up to a maximum of 50mg/hour using a suitable silicon hose. Tip: Ozone volumes of 5-10mg/hour per 100 litres of seawater. Fit the T-piece to the air intake on the pump. Connect one end of the T-piece to the silencer, the other end to the ozone device. The ozone extraction is significantly improved by reducing the air intake (closing the air intake valve). E Care Instructions Remove calcification on components of the skimmer caused by coralline red algae and such like by submerging the parts in question in a 10 % citric acid solution. Then rinse thoroughly with water. On no accounts use washing up liquid or other deter- gents to clean the skimmer or its components; only use tap water. None of the parts of the protein skimmer are suitable for dishwashers. Storage
