Specifications
Magnetically suspended
– for absolute smoothness
The pump of the 9430 is magnetically suspended. This minimizes friction and prevents humming noises that can occur with conventional bearing systems.
The result is quiet, smooth operation – day and night, even in noise-sensitive living environments.
Shaftless design
– uncompromising reliability
The 9430 completely eliminates traditional drive components: no ceramic shaft, no metal shaft. Thanks to the magnetic suspension, a central wear point is removed. In addition, there are no metal parts in contact with water anywhere in the system. This ensures robust, long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
Proven technology
– ahead of its time
The DOC Skimmer 9430 is based on a product concept that has been proven over many years in real-world use, both in private and professional installations. The pump and skimmer design have been continuously refined and modernized to meet today’s high standards. Experience and innovation – perfectly combined.

Made in Germany
– developed and manufactured in Penzberg
Developed and manufactured in Penzberg, Bavaria, with decades of experience, in-house assembly and close integration between development, engineering and production. As one of the few manufacturers worldwide, we produce both the skimmer and the pump in our own facilities – a decisive advantage in terms of quality, control and perfect system integration. Made in Germany – not as a label, but as true manufacturing depth.
Easy to clean
– intelligently designed
The pump is permanently mounted on the outside of the housing, allowing the entire skimmer, including the pump, to be removed in a single step. Despite its external position, the pump remains compact, fully integrated and accessible without tools. No loose hoses, no vibrating attachments – just a robust, closed system.
Connected
– but never dependent
The 9430 is fully integrated into the digital TUNZE® HUB ecosystem, enabling cloud control, daily profiles and food timers. At the same time, the skimmer can be operated completely offline via direct button control on the controller. Smart operation – but never mandatory.
Integrated ozone connection
– for maximum water purity
The pump nozzle is ozone-resistant and features a dedicated connection for ozone generators. Ozone can be injected directly via the air intake – without additional modules or modifications. A true professional feature, fully integrated and ready to use.
Performance that fits
– even in confined spaces
Compact and easy to install, the skimmer delivers outstanding efficiency, performance and flexibility – all combined in a small footprint.
