D-D Deltec 3000ix AC Internal Skimmer

D-D Deltec 3000ix AC Internal Skimmer

The newinnovativeinternal protein skimmer from Deltec. The Deltec ‘i’ DC pump and ‘ix’ AC pump rangeof protein skimmersincorporatea new emergency overflow system that prevents the collection cup from overflowing in the event that the sump water level suddenly exceedsthe skimmer specified water depth or the air intake becomes blocked. As the water level rises within the protein skimmer body the air feed to the pump willshut off automatically via the emergency overflow further reducing the chance of foam flooding the cup if the water level in the sump should ever rise due to a return pump failure.

The new proteinskimmers also include minimum and maximum adjustment level marks on the outlet pipework for easy set-up. The ‘double base’ footplate design allows water to exit the protein skimmer body into a void within thefootplate and into the integrated level adjustment tube and the emergency overflow tube. This new design feature means that water will exit the protein skimmer body at the lowest point greatly reducing the chance of micro bubbles escaping the body, increasing air-water contact time and also reducingnoise and turbulence within the protein skimmer body. Due to wasteaccumulation and calcium carbonate building protein skimmer pumpsgenerally have to perform in a harsh environment and need to be cleaned periodically to maintain peak performance.

With this in mind, Deltec has incorporated a quick tool-lessremoval system for the pump allowing for easy disassembly, in tests Deltec have been able to remove a pump for cleaning in less than 20 seconds meaning less time spent maintaining equipment and more time to enjoy your aquarium.
