Schuran's Aquaflotor® Jetskim High Performance Skimmers offer superior skimming performance due to their triple pass system which means that water and air stay in contact longer, allowing more time for skimming.
All skimmers have venturi injector systems and as they are made of acrylic they are strong and durable and can be used safely with ozone. These skimmers can be used inside or outside a filter sump.
The Aquaflotor® Principle
The Aquaflotor® is a cylinder, which is internally divided into the following compartments: reaction chamber (3), riser (4), separating tube (5), reactor outer tube (8), collection cup (7).
The polluted water from the sump or aquarium (1) is drawn through the pump and mixed with air and ozone (optional) via the venturi (2). From here, the water is pumped into the reaction chamber (3) where a vortexing action occurs which mixes the water with the injected air bubbles. Any solids and proteins are concentrated and become attached to the numerous fine bubbles.
Proteins with lower specific weight than water are the first to flow upwards through the internal riser (4). Solids become attached to the already protein-loaded bubbles and also flow upwards. The heavier protein compounds are then moved by the water flowing into the separating tube (5), where they can be picked up by further bubbles, moving upwards (6).
The pollutants are finally passed into the collecting cup (7) where the bubbles burst and form a highly concentrated foam which can later be removed as flotate. The clean, skimmed water flows into the reactor outer tube (8) and out through the outlet (9).
Excess ozone gas that may not have been used can be passed through an ozone removal device (10).
• For aquaria up to 600 litres
The pump supplied (Aquabee 2000/1) is connected to the pump by a silicon hose and should be submerged at least 15cm. The injector and tap valve, which regulates turnover, can be easily removed for cleaning.
• Turnover: approx. 600l/hr
• Air suction: approx. 350-400l/hr
• Diameter: 120mm
• Dimensions: 140 x 180 x 520(h)mm
