Why settle for less?
Choose only the best in material quality and un-compromising design.
These skimmers are designed to provide great performance while being easy to clean and maintain. The traditional retangular box is eliminated because swirling water in a round tube is gentler thus providing more time for organics to attach to the bubbles. Mazzei injectors provide calculated and predictable performance. For pump curves, click here

Why not a Beckett injector?
Beckett injectors are large and spit water, requiring an injector housing unit. Salt build up also degrade performance over time. The design is just not as clean and compact.

Material of Construction:
All skimmers are made with cast 3/8" sheet and cast 1/4" wall tubing. We don't mix and match 3/8" and 1/4" sheet, or 1/4" and 1/8" wall tubing to save cost. Gate valve is Schedule 80 and is made by Spears.

A few points to keep in mind:
  • Will the skimmer shut down when the collection cup becomes full. This requires the use of a unit that can run under pressure. Friction fit designs just aren't in the same league.
  • Does the skimmer offer a gate valve for you to adjust the internal water height, or are you getting an adjustable riser tube with a piece of foam on top? Riser tube and foam are cheaper to buy but you are going to see salt build up. You are also restricted to run the skimmer in sump.
  • Can you remove the cup while the unit is running? Some designs require you to shut down first.
  • What is the pump the skimmer is designed to work with? Some skimmers comes with a small pump in the package. Most submersible pumps available add heat to your water and are known to fail. And in case you need to run a larger skimmer, it comes with more pumps. Reason? Because the pumps are cheap and undersized.
  • What material is it constructed from? Is it cheap extruded acrylic or PVC? Or does it comes with thick cast material?
A lot of skimmers are designed according to market. The saying goes, the cheaper you build them, the less you charge for it, and the more you sell. Do you want a piece of that?

We design skimmers that work in industrial and educational environment. In other words, it has to work well with easy mainteance for years to come.
