Installation Diagrams and Descriptions
Skimmer Assembly (General)
The skimmer assembly involves several parts, typically labeled 1 through 4. The skimmer is available in two capacities: 15 Liters (15 L) and 17.5 Liters (17.5 L).
Operating Diagram
This diagram illustrates the skimmer's performance. For a 15 L skimmer, the flow rate is 5 m³/h. For a 17.5 L skimmer, the flow rate is 7.5 m³/h. The recommended water velocity is 1.5 m/s.
Skimmer Models and Dimensions
Various skimmer models are shown with their respective dimensions. For example, one model has a width of 232 mm and a height of 162 mm. Another has a width of 210 mm and a height of 171 mm. The diagrams also show connection sizes such as Ø40 mm and Ø50 mm.
Installation in Different Pool Types
Concrete Pool Installation: The skimmer is installed in a concrete pool structure. Part A and Part B components are used in the assembly process.
Prefabricated Pool Installation: The skimmer is installed in a prefabricated pool structure. Part A and Part B components are used.
Concrete Pool with Liner Installation: This shows the skimmer installation in a concrete pool that uses a liner. Parts A and B are integral to this setup.

Section 8C: Provides detailed installation dimensions and pipe connections for both 15 L and 17.5 L skimmers. This includes measurements for pipe diameters (e.g., Ø32 mm, Ø40 mm, Ø50 mm, Ø63 mm) and connection types like 1 1/2" BSP and 2" BSP. Specific installation heights are also indicated, such as minimum and maximum values for different components.
