Pump
The Deltec Skimmer 12000ix is operated with the low-consumption and powerful Deltec pump DCS
1700. This generates 1600 litres of air at a consumption of only 38 watts.
The ergonomic cylinder shape
Thanks to the ergonomic cylinder shape, the Deltec Skimmer 12000ix achieves the best results with
skimming. The shape of the skimmer does not taper upwards. This allows the small air bubbles to rise
unhindered, are fully saturated and burst only in the riser of the foam pot. From there, the collected
broth can be discharged via a drain hose without having to take the foam pot down.

Cleaning System
As an option, the Deltec Skimmer 12000ix can be equipped with a cleaning system in which the inner
riser pipe is cleaned of deposits by turning the foam pot lid. If these deposits are not removed at
regular intervals, the skimming performance is drastically reduced, as foam bubbles on this layer
burst prematurely and thus cannot contribute to water purification.

Dismantling, Dimensions & Construction
The regular cleaning of the pump is very easy thanks to the simple and fast dismantling of the
skimmer. Deltec Skimmer 12000ix can be mounted and disassembled without tools. Our tests have
shown that the pump can be removed from the skimmer in less than 20 seconds.
The dimensions of our skimmer are chosen so that they can be placed comfortably in their filter
basin. Due to the high volume of the cylinder shape, a small base area is sufficient. You can operate
the Deltec Skimmer 12000ix variably in 22 cm to 29 cm water depth.
