Abstract
A skimmer assembly includes a housing, a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet, a second outlet, and a valve. The housing includes a first chamber portion, a second chamber portion, and a divider wall. The divider wall is operable to inhibit fluid communication between the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion. The first inlet and the first outlet are in fluid communication with the first chamber portion. The second inlet and the second outlet are in fluid communication with the second chamber portion. The valve is operable in an open state and a closed state. The valve is configured to (i) allow a flow of fluid into the second chamber portion in the open state and (ii) inhibit the flow of fluid into the second chamber portion in the closed state.
