The Vertex Vectra automatic protein skimmer neck cleaner was first unveiled about four months ago at MACNA but now Vertex is just about ready to let them ship. The Vectra skimmer cleaner is made up of a core engine consisting of a motor assembly which can be paired up with skimmer cup lids of varying diameters.

The adjustable squeegee cleaner is turned and pressed by a high torque motor which is quiet and well sealed to protect it from the corrosive nature of seawater. Stay tuned for full release details and pricing for the Vertex Vectra automatic protein skimmer neck cleaner.

    I like the adjustable nature of the squeegee, my question with these always is, where does all the gunk end up?   Is there some mechanism that brings it up into the cup?  Because as it stands it doesn’t look like that will happen on this

    Has always been my question with these as we dont want it going back into the water but I see no way around it.

    The idea is you set it to run frequently enough that nothing much builds up to begin with. Avast’s literature recommends one minute on every six hours.
