Product Description
The AP1003 Protein Skimmer is a high performance, 3 pump model for larger aquariums from 3500 to 5000 lts. It incorporates the patented "Neuhaus" Pinwheel system in three modified Eheim 1260 pumps, resulting in unsurpassed skimming performance.Air is drawn in automatically through an air intake adaptor. The rotation of the water/air mixture provides a long contact time with the pollutants resulting in a highly efficient performance. The extremely fine water/air mixture is pumped into the contact tube, where it rises and is collected in a removable cup at the top of the skimmer.When a skimmer is running it will produce a head of foam which is determined by the amount of air and the bubble size. A simple general way of comparing the relative performance of a skimmer without even running it is to look at the neck diameter where it enters the cup. The larger this is, the greater the performance, as it takes a greater head of foam to be able to climb up a larger diameter tube.The riser tube diameter of the AP1003 is 160mm. Compare that with your existing skimmer and you will understand what we are talking about. Tapered tubes simply reduce the opening to cope with a smaller volume of foam.The AP1003 produces a maximum level of air of 1800 lts per hour.It is possible to upgrade the AP1003 to the AP1004 at any time by simply adding a 4th pump.Technical Data:For US 110V specifications please visit our D-D USA section of the web siteAP1003 Skimmer : Article No. 88007 Can be stood either in or beside a sump or beside the aquarium.Can be gravity or pump fed (supply pump not supplied).Water throughput - 3000 lts/hr, (667 UK gallons/hr).Installation kit - item 88054 (pump not included).Self cleaning head - Item 88102 (increases performance by 20%)1800 litres of air/hr are produced at the venturi.Dimensions:L 530mm W 530mm H 980mm (allowing for removal of t
