Typo on skimmer specs?

[scottfarcuz]

A frind of mine was telling me about a tunze DOC Skimmer 9010 recently setup at a LFS. During the discussion he pointed me to your website and I belive I found a typo on the specs for the DOC Skimmer 9015.

specs for 9010
Water throughput: 1,200 l/h (317 US gal./h)
Air capacity: 650 l/h (171 US gal./h)

specs for the 9015
Water throughput: 1200l/h
(171 US gal./h)
Air capacity: 650l/h (171 US gal./h)

I would think the 9015 should have more water throughput, and air capacity?

It just has a bigger reaction chamber but the specs are the same, both specs are max and you couldn't run a 9010 at max without collecting only water, the 9015 can be run at the upper limits of air capacity.

 

[scottfarcuz]

So they both have the same amount of water throughput?

9010 says 1200l/h (317 US gal./h)
9015 says 1200l/h (171 US gal./h)

I had assumed the larger skimmer pushed more water, but If they both have the same throughput they should both say 1200l/h (317 US gal./h)

 

[rvitko]

Yes, they have the same pump.

Since I found that typo and helped you all out and all do you need me to PM my mailing address for that free 9015 coupon

I'm looking forward to seeing how the 9010 performs on the tank at the LFS. I would love to have a skimmer that small and powerful on the upgrade I'm working on putting togther now...

9010 says 1200l/h (317 US gal./h)
9015 says 1200l/h (171 US gal./h)

looks like one of the conversions (9015?) are wrong.

 

[scottfarcuz]

Yeah
The conversion is wrong...
