Description
The revolutionary AquaC protein skimmers do not use venturis, downdraft tubes, or air pumps; they employ the patented “Spray Injection System.” This innovation allows the protein skimmer to efficiently draw in much more air than any other of the top protein skimmers. This coupled with the superiorly designed compact reaction chamber yields results that will literally blow the waste out of your water.How does Spray Injection Work?In 1998, Jason Kim (owner and founder of AquaC) developed a patented process of protein skimming which has come to be known as Spray Injection. Unlike previous forms of skimming, our spray injection method enables huge amounts of air and water to be processed with a moderately small pump. Even though it is a simple process, there is still some confusion as to how the spray injector works. Believe that you`re washing your car – you`ve got a bucket full of soapy water and a garden hose with a fast-moving stream of water. By placing your thumb over the end of the hose, you’ll disrupt the stream into a turbulent, high -pressure spray. Now direct that spray down into the bucket of water, and you`ll generate a massive amount of bubbles and air float. That is exactly how our spray injector works. The skimmer body acts as a water reservoir – the bucket in the example above. Water is pumped through the spray injector, which has a special nozzle that fans the water out into a pressurized spray. This spray shoots into the skimmer body, generating millions of tiny air bubbles. As the bubbles are formed, more air is sucked into the skimmer because of the local drop in pressure and the process continues. Most other forms of protein skimming rely on special valves or media to generate the air float, and these parts quickly transform clogged with salt, dust, or even mineral deposits. The AquaC spray injector is a moderately large nozzle that resists clogging, and when combined with a pump prefilter, can be considered maintenance free.
