Product description in detailEmergency overflowDeltec skimmers are characterized by particularly good skimming results. The Deltec
Skimmer 400i features a newly developed emergency overflow. This prevents the skimmer from “boiling over” if the water level rises. This can happen, for example, if the feed pump stops working and additional water flows into the sump. The water level also rises if there are problems with the air supply, e.g., due to a kink in the silicone hose or foreign objects in the air intake line. This can cause the skimmer to “boil over,” causing the water to rise so high that it is forced into the skimmer cup, and the solution is flushed back into the aquarium. This leads to extreme water pollution. The Emergency Overflow made by Deltec prevents this and thus protects the aquarium from contamination.
Emergency Overflow Pipe & Regulator PipeThe water level in the skimmer can be read on the emergency overflow pipe. Minimum and maximum markings also help with optimal water level adjustment. The ability to swap the emergency overflow pipe with the regulator pipe allows the user to decide how the pipes are arranged.PumpThe Deltec Skimmer 400i is powered by the Deltec DCC 1 pump. This 24V DC pump is adjustable via a ten-stage controller and can therefore be optimally adjusted to the water level and water load. At level 7 (optimal for most aquariums), approximately 400 liters of air are generated with only 9 watts.
The ergonomic cylindrical shapeThanks to its ergonomic cylindrical shape, the Deltec Skimmer 400i achieves optimal skimming results. The shape of the skimmer does not taper towards the top. This allows the small air bubbles to rise unhindered, are fully saturated, and only burst in the riser tube of the skimmer cup.
Hollow-Chamber BottomAn additional innovation of the Deltec Skimmer 400i is the hollow-chamber bottom. This helps to further dampen noise, which is why the already quiet Deltec Skimmer 400i is described as “whisper-quiet.” Furthermore, the water flows back through the hollow-chamber bottom. This means that the water is led out of the skimmer at the lowest possible point, preventing almost any air bubbles from flowing into the aquarium.
Disassembly, Dimensions & AssemblyRegularly required cleaning of the pump is made very easy by the quick and easy disassembly of the skimmer. The Deltec Skimmer 400i can be assembled and disassembled without tools. Our tests have shown that you can remove the pump from the skimmer in less than 20 seconds.
The dimensions of our skimmer are designed so that you can easily install it in your filter tank. The high volume of the cylindrical shape means a small footprint is sufficient. You can operate the Deltec Skimmer 400i variably in water depths of 15 cm to 25 cm.We wish you much enjoyment with your hobby and thank you for your trust…
