{"product_id":"deltec-1500ix-internal-skimmer-dc","title":"Deltec SC-Pro 1500ix Internal Skimmer (AC)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Deltec 'i' DC pump and 'ix' AC pump range of protein skimmers incorporate a new emergency overflow system that prevents the collection cup from overflowing in the event that the sump water level suddenly exceeds the skimmers specified water depth or the air intake becomes blocked. As the water level rises within the protein skimmer body the air feed to the pump will shut off automatically via the emergency overflow further reducing the chance of foam flooding the cup if the water level in the sump should ever rise due to a return pump failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new protein skimmers also include minimum and maximum adjustment level marks on the outlet pipework for easy set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 'double base' footplate design allows water to exit the protein skimmer body into a void within the footplate and into the integrated level adjustment tube and the emergency overflow tube. This new design feature means that water will exit the protein skimmer body at the lowest point greatly reducing the chance of micro bubbles escaping the body, increasing air- water contact time and also reducing noise and turbulence within the protein skimmer body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to waste accumulation and calcium carbonate build up protein skimmer pumps generally have to perform in a harsh environment and need to be cleaned periodically to maintain peak performance. With this in mind Deltec have incorporated a quick tool less removal system for the pump allowing for easy disassembly, in tests Deltec have been able to remove a pump for cleaning in less than 20 seconds meaning less time spent maintaining equipment and more time to enjoy your aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003cbr\u003eNew footplate design allowing water to return through the footplate to aid degassing and reduce turbulence within the body\u003cbr\u003eHighly efficient cylinder body \u003cbr\u003eNew Deltec developed emergency overflow system with water level indicator\u003cbr\u003eSkimmer cup remote drain \u003cbr\u003eExtremely low power consumption\u003cbr\u003eQuick and easy removal of the pump\u003cbr\u003eOptional cleaning head available\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eAquarium size 1000 to 1,500 litres \u003cbr\u003ePower consumption 27 watts with 1,100 litres of air (in normal operation)\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (LXBXH): 27,5 x 18.5 x 58cm\u003cbr\u003eFootprint 26.5 x 18cm\u003cbr\u003eBody diameter 160\u003cbr\u003eRiser tube diameter 110mm \u003cbr\u003ePump Deltec DCS 1200 \u003cbr\u003eAC pump 230 Volts\u003cbr\u003eFor sumps with 15 to 25cm water level\u003cbr\u003e*Optional Manual cleaning head CSM 1500\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deltec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57054685659467,"sku":"DELTEC-1500IX","price":777.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/7065\/4027\/files\/1_5_1500_2_98.jpg?v=1776424814","url":"https:\/\/krakencorals.co.uk\/products\/deltec-1500ix-internal-skimmer-dc","provider":"Kraken Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
