Sweeper Sweeper is a motorised device that will keep in optimal conditions your skimmer performance.
During the normal operation of your skimmer, the waste accumulates in the skimmer neck, forming a (sometimes thick) layer that blocks the smooth raise of the foam that should overflow to the collection cup.
Connect 'Sweeper' to a standard timer or better yet, to your Aquatronica, Profilux, IKS, aquarium computer and program it so it is activated a couple of minutes every hour. The rubber wiper-blade will “brush” the neck's inner surface, breaking the first layer of protein built up that would be the base of a massive accumulation.
Sweeper is not a cleaning system itself but rather a system to avoid the efficiency loss over time in any skimmer.
Fuerthermore, the increase on surface helps the foam to “climb” faster within the skimmer neck, facilitating its way to the collection cup.
