is a milestone in skimmer development.
The water flows over a curved sieve. The mesh size of the sieve is only 0.3 mm. The advantage of this is that even slight impurities and mucilaginous algae get caught in the sieve. The impurities are removed from the system before the nutrients they contain get back into the water.
The sieve is self-cleaning, as the impurities are rinsed to the bottom. Due to a cleverly-devised mechanism, the water flow is regulated via a moveable skimmer flap that always allows exactly the right amount of water to flow over the sieve.
