IceCap AC Skimmer Controller and Heater Controller

Adding Smart Features to Basic Equipment: A Guide to IceCap Controllers

A fixed-speed skimmer or a basic heater doesn't come with smart safety features built in, but IceCap's standalone controllers add exactly that protection to equipment that wouldn't otherwise have it.

Two Controllers, Two Jobs

  • AC Skimmer Controller - adds overflow protection, a feed timer, and a power-on delay to any AC (fixed-speed) protein skimmer or waste collector, the same kind of restart-timing and overflow protection that DC-controllable skimmers build in natively.
  • Heater Controller - connects up to two heating elements (sold separately) and gives precise, accurate temperature control instead of relying on the heater's own built-in thermostat.

Why Add a Controller to Existing Equipment

  • Upgrade an older fixed-speed skimmer with overflow protection and feed-timer convenience without replacing the whole unit.
  • Get precise temperature control from basic, less expensive heating elements rather than paying for a heater with built-in smart features.
  • Run two heaters off one controller for redundancy or larger tanks needing more total wattage.
