The ATI Powercone skimmer with ATI gridwheel design is coming to the United States. Reef Geek, which carried the first ATI Sunpower lighting units and other ATI products has announced they will be carrying the unit. We’ve also confirmed final US pricing for the Powercone skimmers which are as follows:
ATI PowerCone 160 w/ Pump $399.95
ATI PowerCone 200 w/ Pump $459.95
ATI PowerCone 250 w/ Pump $529.95
You can expect to see these units hitting North American Shores shortly.
The ATI PowerCone Skimmer combines several new innovations
to produce a skimmer with unsurpassed efficiency and exceptional
performance. At the core of the design is the innovative Grid-wheel
impeller that combines the stable performance of a needle-wheel
with the superior performance of a thread/mesh-wheel impeller.
This Grid-wheel impeller combined with an improved air injection
nozzle to increase air intake and an optimized pump housing
to improve water flow produces a skimmer with unmatched
performance. The ATI PowerCone is the perfect merger of modern
advances in skimmer technologies and affordable pricing making it
a truly unbeatable value.Unmatched Performance: The high-volume of air flow
combined with the Grid-wheel impeller to chop it all up produces
an incredible amount of tiny, waste removing bubbles resulting in
an extremely dense and uniform water-air mixture. And the design
of the skimmer body allows these bubbles to remain in contact
with the water for a long period of time resulting in a skimmer
that easily outperforms much larger skimmers. The significantly
higher surface area of the Grid-wheel impeller easily outperforms
traditional needle-wheel impellers.Stable Performance: Grid-wheel impeller produces consistent,
long-term performance as it won’t break apart and wear out like
thread/mesh-wheel impellers.Energy Efficient: Uses just 35 watts of energy while pulling in
3000+ lph of waste removing air.Easy To Use: Built-in water-level adjustment valve allows for
easy and precise fine-tuning of the skimmers performance. The
base of the skimmer can be adjusted to change the position of the
water outlet and many parts of the skimmer can be easily taken
apart for cleaning.Quiet Operation: Produces minimal noise due to innovative
pump and skimmer body design and built-in air silencer.Excellent Build-Quality: Constructed of high-quality materials
and assembled using modern production techniques.
