Simplicity 240DC In-Sump Protein Skimmer – Reliable Performance. Great Value.
Pulls in more air than expensive competitors – and more air combined with our needle-wheel impeller and hybrid cone body make for an incredibly efficient skimmer.
Needle Wheel Impeller
Slices up the air to create a ton of fine micro bubbles. These micro bubbles attract proteins removing food, detritus and other waste from the water.
Hybrid Cone Design
Improves contact time giving proteins more opportunity to stick to the bubbles and helps to concentrate the foam as it rises.
Custom Control
Easy to read wedge pipe setting indicator, adjustable air intake and controllable pump allows skimmer to be dialed in to achieve the best performance for your unique system. DC Pump
Powerful, energy efficient DC pump with needle wheel impeller and controller.
Controller
Easily adjust pump speed and temporarily turn the pump off using the feed mode. Built-in digital readout displays current speed and power consumption.
Collection Cup
Bayonet locking collection cup and built-in collection cup drain.
Simple Maintenance
Thumbscrew assembly for easy cleaning. Skimmer body is made from high-quality cast acrylic that is durable and easy to clean.
