Emergency Overflow
The water level in the skimmer can be read off at the emergency overflow pipe. In addition, the
minimum and maximum markings help to optimize the water level. By the possibility to exchange the
emergency overflow pipe with the regulator pipe, the user has the possibility to decide how the pipes are arranged

Pump
The Deltec Skimmer 3000i/6000i is operated with the Deltec pump DCC4. This 24V DC pump can be
controlled via a ten-stage controller and can be optimally adjusted to the water level and the water load. On the (for most aquariums) optimal level 7, with only 10 – 28 watts about 1450 liters of air is generated. The maximum is 1450 liter per hour of air
The Ergonomic Cylinder Shape
Thanks to the ergonomic cylinder shape, the Deltec Skimmer 3000i/6000i achieves the best results with
skimming. The shape of the skimmer does not taper upwards. This allows the small air bubbles to rise unhindered, are fully saturated, and burst only in the riser of the foam pot. From there, the collected broth can be discharged via a drain hose without having to take the foam pot down.
Hollow Chamber Floor
An additional innovation of the Deltec Skimmer 3000i/6000i is the hollow chamber floor. This helps to
dampen the noise still further, whereby the already quiet Deltec Skimmer 3000i/6000i is called "whisper
quiet". In addition, the water flows back through the hollow chamber floor. The water is fed at the
lowest possible point out of the skimmer, as a result of which almost no air bubbles can flow into the
aquarium.
Dismantling, Dimensions & Construction
The regular cleaning of the pump is very easy thanks to the simple and fast dismantling of the
skimmer. Deltec Skimmer 3000i/6000i can be mounted and disassembled without tools. Our tests have
shown that the pump can be removed from the skimmer in less than 20 seconds.
The dimensions of our skimmer are chosen so that they can be placed comfortably in their filter
basin. Due to the high volume of the cylinder shape, a small base area is sufficient. You can operate
the Deltec Skimmer 3000i/6000i variably in 16cm to 26cm water depth.
