Protein Skimmer Cleaning Heads

Deltec make a series of self cleaning heads for their larger AP series skimmers which can increase the efficiency of your skimmer by up to 20%.

On all skimmers if you watch them over a number of days you will see the amount of waste collected fall off with time. This is because as the foam rises it deposits some of the fat and proteins that it has collected on the side of the riser tube. This deposit makes it harder for the foam to climb and so the amount of waste in the cup decreases.

The skimmer cleaning heads automatically clean both the riser tube and skimmer cup to maintain optimum efficiency.
