| How Does
it Work
The protein skimmer works by fractionating the water and causes
the protein or dissolved organic carbon waste (DOC) and fine
particles, which are suspended in the water to be extracted in the
form of foam.
This rises up in the reaction chamber and is collected in the top
of the unit and discharged by the overflow.
 The treated water then passes back to the pond via the water
level control.
Like many Protein Skimmers that are pump fed - the water
returning to the pond is by 'Gravity Drop' and therefore it is
important, if the unit is to work, that it be placed higher than the
pond water level.
It can be disguised quite easily, and even be
hidden behind a bush or tree's, as long as the outlet pipe is still
above the pond water level and can be extended if required if you
site the Protein Skimmer any distance from the pond ...
To help you understand the setting up a little
easier we have produced the diagrams below: | 
It is recommended that pumps with a pumping capacity of between
3,000 and 4,500 Gallons should be used and that will have enough head
pressure to power a Venturi.
