XFLO Protein Skimmers
Starting at $691.86
The XFLO molded bases are made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) that doesn’t require gluing or bonding to fabricate. The reaction chamber is made from a single section of acrylic tube. The riser cone, collection cup, and collection cup lid are made from polycarbonate material and the Mazzei Air Injector is made from ozone resistant Kynar. A uniform 6” diameter reaction chamber allows for proper flow rates and contact times. The counter current flow design sends water from the top of the reaction chamber down through the rising bubbles to create a counter current, stripping action that allows for soluble organic removal.
*** WATER PUMP IS NOT INCLUDED***
Baffle plates inside the riser cone stop circular swirling of the water and foam head, and create a “ladder effect,” pushing the foam upwards to be ejected from riser cone into the collection cup. The domed lid allows foam to roll away from the center and drip to the edge of the riser cone and into the collection cup. The cup is sealed with a simple o-ring that allows for easy removal for cleaning with no union to break apart or thumbscrews to undo. The lid also features a vent for air/ozone off gassing.
Cleaning the XFLO does not require tools. The collection cup and lid separate from the rise tube by just a simple lift. The riser cone has a twist lock connection to remove for easy cleaning of the cone. The baffle plates slide out for cleaning and for access to the reaction chamber body.
