Juwel EccoSkim Surface Skimmer

Juwel EccoSkim Surface Skimmer

The Juwel EccoSkim Surface Skimmer is a compact surface skimmer that removes residue film and organic residues from the water surface of freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It suits Juwel tank owners who want clearer surface water, and it can also be used on other widely available glass aquariums.

Key Benefits

• Removes residue film and other organic residues from the water surface using suction.
• Lets more light reach the bottom of the aquarium once surface films and dirt are cleared.
• Supports a higher oxygen content in the water, which promotes the vitality of plants and fish.
• Delivers 300 l/h while using only 4.4 W, so it is economical to run around the clock.
• Compact design that keeps the skimmer unobtrusive in the tank.
• Dynamic float control keeps the skimmer correctly positioned as the water level changes.
• Skimming performance is continuously adjustable to suit your aquarium.
• Works in both freshwater and saltwater set-ups.

How to Use

• In a Juwel aquarium, use the filter mount to attach the EccoSkim directly to the Juwel inside filter. Surface impurities are then drawn off and carried straight into the filter.
• In other widely available glass aquariums, use the suction mount to hold the skimmer in place.
• To change the skimming power, turn the control tube. Set it to whatever your aquarium needs.
• The float follows the water level, so the skimmer stays correctly positioned for skimming the surface.

Suitable For

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the EccoSkim in a saltwater aquarium?
Yes. It is designed to remove residue film and organic residues from the surface of both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

Does it only fit Juwel tanks?
No. In Juwel aquariums it attaches directly to the inside filter with the filter mount. In other widely available glass aquariums you can use the suction mount instead.

Where does the skimmed waste go?
In a Juwel aquarium, surface impurities are transported directly into the Juwel inside filter.

How do I adjust the skimming strength?
Turn the control tube. The skimming performance is continuously adjustable, so you can match it to your aquarium's requirements.

How much power does it use?
It uses 4.4 W while delivering 300 l/h, which keeps running costs low for a unit that works continuously.

Why does removing surface film matter?
A film on the surface blocks light from reaching the bottom of the tank and affects oxygen content. Clearing it allows more light through and increases oxygen, which promotes the vitality of plants and fish.
