The Turboflotor 1000 uses the same patented Needle Wheel technology as the whole Aqua Medic Turboflotor skimmer family. The Needle Wheel rotates at 3.600 rpm in the pump housing, the air/water mixture is heavily agitated and the air bubbles are cut into micro bubbles for optimum skimming efficiency. The Needle Wheel pump draws water directly from the skimmer, mixes it with air and drives the mixture back into the skimmer. A great advantage of the skimmer is its aquarium water supply. Water flows directly to the skimmer as a bypass (approx. 250 gph) from the overflow of the aquarium, without the need for a pump. In this way, the flow rate can be easily adjusted with a valve. This means the whole power of the Needle Wheel pump is used to inject air. This water flow creates an extremely high turbulence in the lower part of the skimmer and ensures that a very high quantity of air (approx. 50 g.p.h) is injected. The upper part of the skimmer stays calm and leaves enough time for the bubbles to react with the organic wastes and form a stable dry foam, that is pushed into the conical shaped foam cup. Up to 250 gallons.
