· 16” Overflow
Kevan helped in designing the overflow. He spent many hours drawing up the prototypes in 3D. Was there during the initial testing.
Invisible in the tank and quiet were the goals
Not just for rimless tanks
Less foot print in the tank
Matches to the black backgrounds to make it virtually invisible when installed
Magnetic overflow weir for cleaning - Ceramic ferrite anti corrosive magnets used on the wier.
Just one size available currently
Rated for 1,500 gph
Can run more than one to increase GPH. Ex 2 overflows for 3000GPH
Each one comes with a template to drill the glass
Full syphon, partial syphon, and an emergency
Recommended a gate valve not a ball valve for the full syphon line.
Customer needs to purchase internal plumbing parts.
Customer can plumb to their needs – Universal
· SS34 - 34” Atomic Green Sump
· Brought in on display for members to see
General:
Industrial line prototype will be high end PMG Ultra Marine grade acrylic in white and black. PVC is used in most industrial applications, but is a lower quality material than PMG Ultra Marine Grade acrylic.
Eurobrace all sumps for structural integrity
Plex G type acrylic used. High quality North American made material.
Bulkheads are made in the USA
Thumbscrews are made in the USA
