Never in the history of the saltwater aquarium hobby has any tank setup
with a protein skimmer escaped the fate of having the protein skimmer
overflow from your fish tank!
If you use a protein skimmer, the chances are it will overflow at one
time or another! There are many factors that can cause a protein skimmer
to suddenly and quickly overflow
Forgetting to empty the skimmer collection cup
Reactions from chemicals, additives, feeding, medications, etc…
Venturi air intake gets blocked by dust, salt or debris
After a power outage or turning off the return pump when the skimmer is on
A skimmer overflow can cause extensive and expensive damage to your
aquarium equipment, cabinetry and surrounding floor. It can cause your
aquariums water level to drain to dangerous levels that can kill fish
and corals or burn out circulation and return pumps. Skimmate that
overflows from your skimmer back into your sump can cause unsightly and
difficult to remove hair algae in your aquarium. In some cases, the
outcome could be more serious and cost you to lose precious fish and
corals!
Nothing can prevent a protein skimmer from producing unexpected foam or
an unexpected rise of the water level in its inner chamber under all
conditions!
When these conditions occur, a new product from Zaya.co, the SOS
(Skimmer Overflow Stopper) prevents your protein skimmer from
overflowing. With the SOS, all overflows are stopped before disaster can
happen. The SOS turns off your protein skimmer pump when the miniature
titanium probes are triggered by a collection cup or waste collection
container that is full of skimmate or when the water in the sump rises
above its normal operating level. It also sounds a loud continuous alarm
to draw your attention to it.
