Installation
Assesmbly of the SwimSkim CWS (Figure B, C)
1. Plug the handle (4) on the filter basket (8).
2. Fit the float switch (2):
– Start by inserting the bottom engagement hook (9) in the opening of the pump chamber provided for this purpose.
– Then press the float switch down while swinging it against the pump chamber, until the upper engagement
hook (10) audibly engages.
3. Tighten the flow-out nozzle (3) at the pump on the underside of the pump chamber.
4. Align the flow-out nozzle (3) with the flat sealing ring (14) opposite to the skimmer flap (13).
– The flow-out nozzle is correctly aligned when the arrows (11) on the underside of the unit and on the flow-out
nozzle point to one another.
Note: The blowback generated by the flow-out nozzle firmly holds the SwimSkim CWS at the securing cord or at the
securing cords (D) once fastened to the ground stakes.
5. Adjusting the flow-out nozzle (3).
– With swirl-up function: Turn the valve (12) such that the water flows out downward to swirl up the sludge from the
bottom of the pond.
– Without swirl-up function: Turn the valve (12) such that the water flows out sideways. The sludge on the bottom of
the pond is not swirled up.
6. Inserting the foam filter (7):
– If necessary, the foam filter (7) can be used to filter out fine-grain soiling (e.g. pollen).
Installing the SwimSkim CWS (Figure D)
1. Place the SwimSkim CWS into the pond.
2. Fix the SwimSkim CWS in the pond:
– Fasten at the pond edge: Fasten one securing cord each from the scope of delivery at the eyelets of two float
switches (2). Fix the securing cords at the pond edge using the ground stakes (6) such that the SwimSkim CWS
is in its desired position.
– Fasten at the bottom of the pond: Fasten one securing cord each from the scope of delivery at the two eyelets at
the unit underside (1). Fix the securing cords to the bottom of the pond, e.g. using rocks, such that the SwimSkim
CWS is in its desired position.
Note: Only put the SwimSkim CWS into use when it is firmly fixed in the pond.
