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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Data\u003cbr\u003eExternal Version\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe total height measurement includes around 20mm for cup removal\u003cbr\u003eSignificantly exceeds performance of AP902 (1200 lts of air - 230V)\u003cbr\u003eFootprint: 350mm by 290 mm\u003cbr\u003eFootprint plus pipework: 450mm by 318mm\u003cbr\u003eHeight under outlet pipe: 268mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal air produced: 1500 - 1700 lts\/hour\u003cbr\u003ePower consumption: 29-34W\u003cbr\u003eNeck diameter: 140mm\u003cbr\u003ePatented Twn Chamber bubble chamber\u003cbr\u003eTank Suitability: 2000 lts heavy stocking 2400 lts normal stocking\u003cbr\u003eConnections: 32mm in 50mm out\u003cbr\u003eRemote drain of skimmer cup\u003cbr\u003eAir silencers\u003cbr\u003eMicro adjustable skimmer setting\u003cbr\u003eHigh water flow through the skimmer 3600 ltrs\/hr\u003cbr\u003eOptional self cleaning system\u003cbr\u003eNew colour scheme\u003cbr\u003eCan be gravity or pump fed (supply pump not supplied).\u003cbr\u003eArticle no 80250\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deltec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57074923897215,"sku":"779359","price":1345.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/5420\/6079\/files\/t_c_tc6000_10_1.jpg?v=1772680890","url":"https:\/\/finestaquatics.co.uk\/products\/deltec-tc-pro-3000ix-external-skimmer-ac","provider":"Finest Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
