The new products have an E-T-A Ratio of around 60 to one and can produce 1500 lts of air per hour whilst using only 25W of power. Compare this with the current Deltec modified Eheim pumps, (already renound for their performance), which only produce 600 lts of air for 36W of power and you will understand why we are so excited.The TC name describes the special Twin Chamber design of the bubble chamber which is patented and has the benefit of pressurising the pumps for higher performance and ensures that only unskimmed water passes through he pump rather than reskimming and reprocessing water in the chamber.The new bubble plate design allows the height of the skimmers to be reduced compared with the current range to allow them to fit in a greater number of installations and cabinets. The primary use of the bubble chamber is to prevent turbulence from the skimmer body and neck as turbulence can pull waste loaded bubbles back into the water column causing a reduction in efficiency. The air to water ratio is so high that there is almost immediate reaction with the waste therefore there is no requirement for the tall reaction chambers found on some low air skimmers thus keeping the units compact.Technical DataExternal VersionThe total height measurement includes around 20mm for cup removalSignificantly exceeds performance of AP1004 (2400 lts of air - 230V)Footprint: 375 mm x 375 mmFootprint plus pipework: 470mm x 382mmHeight under outlet pipe: 264mmTotal air produced: 2x 1700-2000 lts/hourPower consumption: 2 x 32 watts - 2 x 37 wattsWater feed/throughput 4000 ltrs/hrNeck diameter: 200 mmSame cup dimensions as the AP1006Pipe connections: 32mm in 50mm outPatented Twin Chamber bubble chamberTank Suitability normal stocking 6000 lts heavy stocking 5000 ltsRemote drain of skimmer cupAir silencersMicro adjustable skimmer settingHigh water flow through the skimmerOptional self cleaning systemNew colour schemeCan be gravity or pump fed (supply pump not supplied).Article no 80350000
