Maxspect Jump Series DC Protein Skimmer (MJ-SK)
Unmatched Filtration Efficiency with Patented Dual Needle Wheel Technology
The Maxspect Jump MJ-SK Series Protein Skimmer sets a new standard for aquarium waste removal by combining high-end performance with smart, space-saving innovations. Built with a space-saving square footprint, this controllable DC skimmer features Maxspect’s patented Dual Intake and Dual Needle Wheel design. Powered by a single specialized pump block, it draws water from two sides and spins it through two needle wheels simultaneously, doubling air-shredding efficiency to generate an ultra-dense column of microbubbles for superior nutrient export.
Key Features & Design Innovations
- Patented Dual Intake & Needle Wheel: A single central pump unit operates two water intakes and two needle wheels at the same time. This maximizes air-to-water contact time while keeping energy consumption low.
- Ultra-Quiet Sine Wave Tech: Utilizing advanced electrical current alternation, the DC pump runs with near-silent operations, eliminating the loud vibrations common in old-school AC skimmers.
- Smart Anti-Overflow Protection: Equipped with an integrated float-level sensor inside the collection cup. If the skimmed waste reaches critical capacity, the smart controller automatically dials down or shuts off the pump to prevent messy sump overflows.
- Precision Front Control Dial: Features a prominent, accessible front-facing wheel to precisely adjust the internal water gate valve, allowing you to easily fine-tune the foam level without dipping your hands deep into the sump.
- Advanced Digital Controller: Offers immediate control over power increments, an automatic 10-minute Feed/Pause Mode, and a Startup Delay function to protect your aquarium from overflowing after power outages.
- Integrated Bubble Trap: A uniquely engineered baffle plates system near the outlet traps microbubbles, preventing them from escaping back into the return chamber and muddying your display tank’s clarity.
