CONSTRUCTION

The Helix design, in combination with the high rpm DC pump, moves large volumes of water in a spiral like fashion into the reaction chamber.  This creates a high-speed cylindrical water motion, which increases contact time.

Our dual impeller design at the bubble plate works in conjunction with the helical water flow to further reduce the bubble size in order to increase surface area.

The attached bubble diffuser is constructed of high grade SUS316 stainless steel.

The cone shaped body promotes the waste laden bubbles to rise into the collection cup.

The white base, pump and trim dictate the same purity as the water it produces.

Requiring less space in the sump, large bulky skimmers are not required.

SPIRAL BUBBLE DIFFUSER WITH 2 IMPELLERS

Orphek Helix 5000 Protein Skimmers is uniquely designed with dual impeller and stainless steel spiral bubble diffuser, which reduce the size of the bubbles to promote more contact area for waste to adhere to.

The first impeller making contact with the water chops the bubbles up to a fine consistency.  The second impeller has our high-grade stainless steel spiral bubble diffuser integrated with the impeller to further reduce bubble size and increase bubble volume.

The results are more and smaller bubbles coupled with a high volume water movement into the reaction chamber.  The high-speed horizontal water column increases bubble contact time in the reaction chamber that allows more waste to adhere to the bubbles.

THE BUBBLE PLATE

Our bubble plate diffuses the bubbles and reduces turbulence of the water entering the conically shaped riser tube helping to prevent premature bubble breakage of the nutrient rich bubbles entering the riser tube.

COMPONENTS

All components used in the Orphek Helix Protein Skimmer have been designed to work seamlessly and integrate smoothly with each other.  Our skimmer will outperform any other skimmer in its price range.  Experience the results of the Orphek Helix Protein Skimmer for yourself and the results will be a cleaner and nutrient free aquarium.  High grade PVC and acrylic used throughout.

 

CONTROLLABLE DC PUMP

The high speed 6500 l/h DC pump with controller offers high rpm impeller speed to move more water, more quickly, and more efficiently.  There is also a feed button on the controller to prevent premature extraction of additives. With a DC pump and controller, you can now take full control of your skimmer to give you exactly the skim you’re looking for.  The pump is very energy efficient, drawing only 42 watts of power at full rpm and features a long lasting durable ceramic shaft.

 

EFFICIENT 

The controllable RPM DC needle wheel pump provides a highly efficient means for moving large volumes of water with little energy cost.  This also means less heat transfer into the aquarium.

 

RELIABILITY AND RESULTS 

The Orphek Helix Protein Skimmer has optimum efficiency and reliability of all components and assures you a clean and healthy tank.

The new Orphek Helix 5000 Protein Skimmer removes more waste than any other skimmer in its class and will easily create a nutrient free aquarium providing ideal water conditions for coral growth and health.
