AutoAqua Smart Security System - Skimmer

AutoAqua Smart Security System – Skimmer

Overview

The AutoAqua Smart Security System – Skimmer is a dedicated safety device designed to prevent protein skimmer overflows and the mess that comes with them. Using a smart optical sensor and controller, it monitors the level inside your skimmer cup (or skimmer section) and automatically shuts off the skimmer pump if the cup fills too high or the water level rises unexpectedly.

This simple add-on protects your floor, cabinet, and sump from saltwater spills and keeps your system from dumping concentrated skimmate back into the aquarium—ideal for both reef and fish-only systems.
