"Santa Klaus" Delivers Today: Bubble King 650 EXT

[Jeremy B.]

A "small" package arrived at to the warehouse today for a local customer of ours, direct from the North Pole of "Santa Klaus"; Cologne, Germany.

 

[Jeremy B.]

..............and for some size reference, an Alpha 250 setting on the lid of this beast................

 

[Jeremy B.]

20.5" Diameter Collection Cup!

19.5" Diameter Bubble Plate!

24" Diameter Body!

Holy cow.

That will eat most skimmers for a snack.

 

[sjm817]

That is just insane.

Too bad Hahnmeister is moved on, or he could chime in with random criticisms.

 

[plantguy]

My only criticism is that it wouldnt fit in my jeep today. If it had, it and I would be eloping to vegas right now.

 

[swiseman]

I know you wouldn't just bring that in for floor stock, so, may I ask what size system it is going to be used on. I have the Alpha 250 so the picture with the Alpha on top blows my mind. That is one big skimmer.

 

[Jeremy B.]

This is actually going to a local customer who is putting it on approximately 2000gal, that is ridiculously heavy stocked. This is most certainly not a stock item!

Hi Jeremy,

But the german "Nikolaus" does not deliver such excellent toys.

....and claim that he invented all the technology which BK then copied.

Ahhh the good old days...

Could this skimmer effectively skim the Pacific Ocean or would the Atlantic be its maximum?

 

[philagothos]

Would this work on my 29?

This would BE your 29!!!

 

[Jeremy B.]

We figured the entire skimmer, with the box it sets on and everything holds around 50gal of water. I only wish Hahn could post here so he could critique the skimmer for Klaus.

The neck is just slightly larger than the Alpha 250, but not a whole lot. This is the only skimmer that Klaus makes which has a completely different air intake to neck size ratio. Every other skimmer in the BK line is completely opposite.

So could we call the 650 a cone now with that transition it uses from the body to the neck?
