Basically it doesn't just suck in air like a venturi style pump, it has extrusions (needles) on the impeller that break down the existing bubbles further. The result is a finer foam. The benifits are less maintenance and smaller foam.
Rich tg just got a skimmer that utilizes the needle wheel pumps and boy does it ever skim. I'm considering buying one my self.
