Default Not Skimming.......

Skimmer is not particularly good in removing large particles...
They are usually to heavy for the foam to lift it out of the water.
Skimmer is mostly used to remove dissolved organic impurites and
mikroscopic particles (including fito-zoo-plankton, unfortunatelly).


Skimmers do not remove ALL organic compounds.


Correct, but who said they remove them ALL ?
