HYDROS Skimmer Sensor

HYDROS Skimmer Sensor: Smart Protection from Protein Skimmer Overflows

The HYDROS Skimmer Sensor is the kind of tool you don’t know you need—until your skimmer turns your sump into a saltwater smoothie. Built for reliability and simplicity, this little sensor helps prevent protein skimmer overflows before they turn into a cleanup nightmare. Whether you're running a nano tank or a full-blown reef beast, this sensor has your back.

HYDROS Skimmer Sensor - Skimmer Cup Monitoring Made Simple

This sensor lives inside your skimmer’s collection cup, where it quietly keeps tabs on waste levels. Once the gunk starts rising, it sends a signal to shut things down—no mess, no fuss.

Key Benefits:

• Internal Placement: Mounts neatly inside the skimmer cup using a magnetic base.

• No Moving Parts: Less risk of failure, more peace of mind.

• Cord-Free Control: Powered via HYDROS Control, so no extra outlets needed.

• IP65-Rated Build: Resists dust, humidity, and rogue splashes.

How the HYDROS Skimmer Sensor Works

Forget timers and manual check-ins. This sensor automates the skimmer shutdown process when waste levels rise too high.

Step-by-Step:

1. Mount the sensor inside the skimmer cup with its included magnetic holder.

2. Connect it to a HYDROS Control 2 or Control 4 using a Sense Port.

3. Once the waste level rises, the sensor sends a signal to power off the skimmer.

4. You get a notification—before the cup turns into a geyser.

Pro Tip: Make sure your skimmer is plugged into a HYDROS-controlled outlet for full automation.
