3) Product description in detail
Emergency Overflow
Deltec skimmers are characterized by particularly good skimming results. The Deltec Skimmer 1000ix
has a newly developed emergency overflow. This prevents the "overcooking" of the skimmer when
the water level in the skimmer rises. This can happen, for example, by discontinuing the conveyor
pump and by adding additional water to the filter sump. But even if there are problems with the air
supply, e.g. by bending the silicone hose or foreign body in the air intake line, the water level
increases. This can cause the skimmer to "boil over" and the water rises so high that it is pressed into
the foam pot and the broth is rinsed back into the aquarium. This leads to an extreme load of water.
Due to the emergency made by Deltec this is prevented and thus the aquarium protected from
impurities.
Emergency overflow pipe & regulator pipe
The water level in the skimmer can be read off at the emergency overflow pipe. In addition, the
minimum and maximum markings help to optimize the water level. By the possibility to exchange the
emergency overflow pipe with the regulator pipe, the user has the possibility to decide how the
pipes are arranged.
Pump
The Deltec Skimmer 1000ix is operated with the low-consumption and powerful Deltec pump DCS
600. This generates 600 liters of air at a consumption of only 11 watts.
The ergonomic cylinder shape
Thanks to the ergonomic cylinder shape, the Deltec Skimmer 1000ix achieves the best results with
skimming. The shape of the skimmer does not taper upwards. This allows the small air bubbles to rise
unhindered, are fully saturated and burst only in the riser of the foam pot. From there, the collected
broth can be discharged via a drain hose without having to take the foam pot down.
Hollow Chamber Floor
An additional innovation of the Deltec Skimmer 1000ix is the hollow chamber floor. This helps to
dampen the noise still further, whereby the already quiet Deltec Skimmer 1000ix is called "whisper
quiet". In addition, the water flows back through the hollow chamber floor. The water is fed at the
lowest possible point out of the skimmer, as a result of which almost no air bubbles can flow into the
aquarium.
Cleaning System
As an option, the Deltec Skimmer 1000ix can be equipped with a cleaning system in which the inner
riser pipe is cleaned of deposits by turning the foam pot lid. If these deposits are not removed at
regular intervals, the skimming performance is drastically reduced, as foam bubbles on this layer
burst prematurely and thus cannot contribute to water purification.
Dismantling, Dimensions & Construction
The regular cleaning of the pump is very easy thanks to the simple and fast dismantling of the
skimmer. Deltec Skimmer 1000ix can be mounted and disassembled without tools. Our tests have
shown that the pump can be removed from the skimmer in less than 20 seconds.
The dimensions of our skimmer are chosen so that they can be placed comfortably in their filter
basin. Due to the high volume of the cylinder shape, a small base area is sufficient. You can operate
the Deltec Skimmer 1000ix variably in 15cm to 25cm water depth.
