AquaForte Tornado III Protein Skimmer

The Aquaforte Tornado III Protein Skimmer is a renewed model with ball valve for flow control and special new bio rings for even better mix of oxygen. This new Tornado IIIprotein skimmer is much improved over it's very popular previous version.

Thanks to this new ball valve it is much easier to adjust the correct water level. Through a 4 mm air connection and supplied flowmeter an air pump continuously pumps 0.5 l/m (30 l/h) of air into the filter. This pressure ensures that the foam created is pushed out of the filter through the foam outlet tube. The Tornado III Protein Skimmer is a combination of a biological, mechanical and chemical filter all in one unit.

The principle of how the Tornado III Protein Skimmer works as follows:

The surface of an air bubble attracts substances dissolved in water. Due to the attraction of air bubbles, chemicals, dirt particles, dyes and algae are concentrated. Air is mixed with water by means of an air pump. By forcing this mixture through the filter material (bio rings) to a lower outlet, a very long contact time between water and air is created. This changes the surface tension of the water continuously and creates a firm foam. This foam is separated from the purified water by a perforated cone and discharged. Substances dissolved in the water such as phosphates, ammonia, Hemic acids, dyes, proteins and a number of heavy metals are filtered out of the water and discharged by means of the foam.

AquaForte Tornado III Protein Skimmer Product Features:

• Stabilizes pH
• Removes colourants
• Increases dissolved oxygen
• Not dependant on bacteria, works as soon as the pump is running.
• Total height 74cm, Ø16cm. Water inlet Ø25mm
• water outlet Ø40 mm,
• foam outlet Ø25mm.
• Pump capacity max. 5m³/h.

Many of you may have seen foam settling on the top of your pond's water. This foam is the result of very small particles such as proteins, algae, chemicals etc, sticking to air bubbles on the waters surface. The Tornado III protein skimmer forces the process though the filter and removes all such particles from your pond's water before the unsightly foam appears, this also leads to a substantially better water quality for your fish.
