REEFER Skimmer Upgrade Kit

Upgrade Kit 300 / Upgrade Kit 600 / Upgrade Kit 900

The Red Sea REEFER Skimmer Upgrade Kit allows you to convert your existing REEFER AC Skimmer into a modern, intelligent DC-controlled skimmer. By replacing the AC pump and components with the DC system, the upgrade significantly improves efficiency, noise levels, control precision and overall skimming performance.

Available in three versions – Upgrade Kit 300, Upgrade Kit 600 and Upgrade Kit 900 – each kit is matched to its corresponding REEFER AC Skimmer model. Once installed, the skimmer is fully compatible with the ReefRun Dual Controller (sold separately), enabling self-leveling technology, smart monitoring and integration into the ReefBeat ecosystem.

 

Key Benefits

• Transforms an AC skimmer into a DC-powered smart skimmer

• Enables self-leveling to prevent overflow or overskimming

• Significantly quieter operation compared to AC versions

• More efficient, controllable skimming via the DC PSK pump

• Allows full ReefBeat and Dual Controller integration

• Extends the lifespan and performance of your existing skimmer

 

Core Features

• DC PSK Pump Conversion
  Each kit includes the DC PSK pump sized for the corresponding 300, 600 or 900 skimmer model, improving efficiency and fine tuning.

• Self-Leveling Compatibility
  Once connected to the ReefRun Dual Controller, the DC pump can automatically reduce intensity when foam becomes too wet, protecting against overflow.

• Dual-Action Solid-State Sensor
  Monitors foam wetness and waste level for automatic pump regulation when paired with the controller.

• Quiet Operation
  The DC pump and vibration-reducing components greatly reduce noise compared to the previous AC setup.

• Flexible Integration
  Enables use of feed modes, timed restarts, maintenance delays and other smart functions through ReefBeat.

• Easy Installation
  Designed as a direct upgrade for the REEFER AC Skimmer body using existing hardware and fittings.
