Use
The skimmer 250 removes coarse soiling from the pond surface. The integrated pump takes the pond water in via the skimmer flap and conveys the cleaned water back into the pond through the pump outlet. The surface soiling is retained by the basket. The Skimmer 250 is recommended for a maximum water surface area of 250 m².
Intended use
The Skimmer 250, in the following text termed unit, may only be used to clean normal pond water at a water temperature of +4°C to + 35°C. Do not use the unit in swimming ponds.
The unit floats on the water. To keep it in position, the enclosed wire cables
are fastened to the unit and either to the bank or to the pond bottom.
Anchoring the unit at the bank (A): Shorten the two wire cables to the desired
length. Form loops at the cable ends and fasten with the cable clamps (3).
Hook the cables into the eyebolts (4) at the skimmer housing by means of
bayonet hooks (1). Knock the two tent pegs (2) into the bank ground.
Important: Adhere to the specified bracing angles (6) to prevent the unit from
moving. Set the unit in the water and hook the cables to the tent pegs (2)
using the bayonet hooks (1). Attention: Pull relieve the connection cable (8)
and protect the power plug from moisture!
Anchoring the unit to the pond bottom (B): Shorten the two wire cables to the
desired length (minimum 5 m). Form loops at the cable ends and fasten with the
cable clamps (3). Hook the cables into the eyebolts (4) at the skimmer housing
by means of bayonet hooks (1). For anchoring to the pond bottom, screw the
enclosed threaded hooks (9) including the dowel, for instance, into two
sufficiently heavy stones. Hook both cables with bayonet hooks (1) in the
threaded hook (9), lower the stones to the bottom of the pond and set the unit
on the water. Attention: Pull relieve the connection cable (8) and protect the
power plug from moisture!
Switching on, switching off
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures: Disconnect the power plug prior to reaching into the

Cleaning
Disconnect the power plug (10) prior to starting cleaning work!
Empty out the retaining basket (11) at regular intervals, clean with clear
water, if necessary.

using a soft brush.
Pump removal
Remove the retaining basket (11). Remove the brace (12) from the pump holder
(13). Remove the Tradux wall leadthrough (F) to be able to take out the power
cable. For this purpose, only loosen the four M5 Allen screws, then pull the
entire unit out of the leadthrough tube (15). Remove the Allen screws as well
as the rear (16) and front (17) retaining plates together with the sealing
insert (14). Pull the connection cable through the leadthrough tube (15). Pull
the pump (18) out of the pressure piece and remove from the floating body
