The first thing, which should be made, is the collecting bowl. The reaction area it can be cut, in order to arrange according to sizes, in order to guarantee that the entire height of the foam spoon covers your need and will insert the amount of the necessary area. " 2 a standard combination will be rather high, which will create a very long neck for a foam spoon

The cup shown is above 5-5/8 " dia. meter and 5-5/8 " highly. I bored a pilot hole in the lowest center of the cup, in addition I took then a “circle cutter” (similarly a crown) in a condition drill press, in order to cut the circle from the soil of the cup. You are CAREFUL of the cups are somewhat fragile and can break. You are slow, and with little pressure. If you do not have an entrance to variable speed conditions a drill press, I would use a Dremel tool or a wireless drill press with a “cutout






		If you stick the beginning into the connection (I not), you must be safe to get no adhesive on the top side the connection which surrounds free PVC.

DO NOT FORGET to let the “union nut” slide over the neck before you stick the cup.


	A so-called floor discharge. It places the conical joint between floats pot and reactor!

The reaction area is 6 " SCH 40 PVC pipe. I used approximately a 13 " long piece. Now where you have the point of the reactor, it will be completely easy to be painted as highly the reaction area to cut. Do not forget to consider the 6 " lowest rubber cap. These caps normally come with a large hose-clammy, which I did not use. In order to cut the 6 " PVC pipe, I used a table saw with a provisional drilling fixture. Put the pipe straight on the table saw and slowly the pipe rotate letting, until you cut the whole way. A

Customs welded joint - on *16, in order to stick the cone on the point of the reaction area. Welded joint - on *16 one sketches to close gaps likewise. 1. Use a continuing bead on the point of the reaction area 2. Turn the collection cup assembly in reverse on a table and use you 1 continuing bead along the internal windshield frame section of the cone. 3. Turn the reaction area in reverse and go you carefully under it on the cone (to try them to place the reaction area evenly within the cone into the center). 4. Turn approximately 15 minutes later a bead of the welded joint - on *16 in the small


	The expiration pipe will permit quick/easy adjustment the water to height within the foam spoon. Each repair coupling will highly work for most skimers more than 25 ". I used the smaller repair, which pairs itself, since is more inexpensive, bolting device in the position much better and the other repair coupling me would not permit to bring the water level within the skimer low to enough.




		Attach in the skimer the angle with a rubber band! Cover cap down do not forget!


	Finished with pump!
