How Does Spray Injection Work?
In 1998, Jason Kim (owner and founder of AquaC) developed a patented process of protein skimming which has come to be known as Spray Injection. Unlike previous forms of skimming, our spray injection method enables huge amounts of air and water to be processed with a relatively small pump. Although it is a simple process, there is still some confusion as to how the spray injector works.

Imagine that you're washing your car - you've got a bucket full of soapy water and a garden hose with a fast-moving stream of water. By placing your thumb over the end of the hose, you can disrupt the stream into a turbulent, high - pressure spray. Now direct that spray down into the bucket of water, and you'll generate a massive amount of bubbles and airflow. That is exactly how our spray injector works.

The skimmer body acts as a water reservoir - the bucket in the example above. Water is pumped through the spray injector, which has a special nozzle that fans the water out into a pressurized spray. This spray shoots into the skimmer body, generating millions of tiny air bubbles. As the bubbles are formed, more air is sucked into the skimmer as a result of the local drop in pressure and the process continues.

Most other forms of protein skimming rely on special valves or media to generate the air flow, and these parts quickly become clogged with salt, dust, or even mineral deposits. The AquaC spray injector is a relatively large nozzle that resists clogging, and when combined with a pump prefilter, can be considered maintenance free.

Healthy Aquariums with Protein Skimmers

Protein skimmers actively remove waste products from fish, plants, and invertebrates before it has a chance to break down and compromise water quality. Learn how protein skimmers also help maintain a healthy saltwater aquarium.

Skimmers Made Simple

The best way to maintain water quality in marine aquariums and reduce the need for water changes is to use a protein skimmer. Unlike a mechanical filter, a skimmer removes proteins and other contaminants from the water column. Learn how.

Setting up a Protein Skimmer

Protein skimmers are available in a variety of styles and types, so there's a skimmer to fit virtually every aquarium system. This article discusses how to set up the Turboflotor 1000 Multi protein skimmer.
