Description
The surface skimmer ensures that the water surface is always clean and free of scum and thus contributes to fewer germs, better oxygen exchange and more light penetration. It sucks off the scum and constantly brings new layers of water to the surface.
The so-called scum is the unsightly surface film on the water surface of the aquarium, organic substances such as fats, proteins and decay products accumulate here, which form the breeding ground for a large number of undesirable micro-organisms.
The surface is also crucial for the vital oxygen exchange between water and air. A film on the water level reduces the rate of diffusion on the one hand, and on the other hand the biological processes taking place there use up additional oxygen. In addition, the entry of light is reduced and thus the plant growth and photosynthesis are impaired.
- Ensures a clear water surface, sucks off the scum
- Reduces germs on the water surface and contributes to better oxygen exchange and more light penetration
- Constantly brings new layers of water to the surface
- Movable inlet float with level compensation (approx. 2 cm), which adapts to the height of the water level
- Automatic valve control of the lower suction area, e.g. when the inlet float is blocked
- Constant water intake, guaranteed without air intake
- Blocking of the surface extraction, e.g. when feeding
- Telescopic version for universal aquarium sizes
- Connection to each external filter instead of the suction pipe
- For larger EHEIM filters, a T-reduction is necessary as a connection piece
