Bubble Blaster skimmer pumps feature a calcium inhibiting silicone nitride shaft and bearings for extended pump life and reduced maintenance. Unlike modified water pumps, Bubble Blaster pumps were designed specifically as skimmer pumps. They include a digital control circuit board managing directional start-up and RPM speeds, with automatic shutoff for detected problems. A clear volute housing allows inspection without disassembly. The distinguishing feature is the enormous amount of air they pull per watt, delivering superior air and water volume for aggressive protein skimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Skimmer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHybrid body skimmers feature an ideal conical transition from body to neck, reducing turbulence and head pressure while directing flow gently upward for enhanced performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerms of Purchase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis skimmer requires an 8-10 week lead time and 50% deposit to begin manufacturing.
