TC/SC self cleaning heads

General information

If you watch a skimmer over a number of days you will notice that the amount of waste collected fall off over time. This is because as the foam rises it deposits some of the fat and proteins that it has collected on the side of the riser tube. This deposits make it harder for the foam to climb and so the amount of waste in the cup decreases.

The new cleaning head includes a new circuit board with an onboard timer.

The timer is designed to switch on the head for one minute at intervals of every eight minutes

The user can also run the head on an external timer for a customised cleaning schedule

Once a day, depending on the rate that the waste is col­lected, a solenoid/pump can be switched on which introduces a jet of freshwater into the cup. The cup fills up and when it reaches the top of the crook on the auto syphon pipe it runs away to drain until the cup is empty and the syphon breaks.

The 1655 and 2060 heads are supplied without cup flushing and siphon system, this can be ordered as an optional extra for these models.

Please note that the motorised cleaning heads typically sit 90mm above the height of the standard cup when installing.
