This AutoAqua guard is for aquarists running a skimmer whose collection cup can overflow into the sump. It monitors the waste level in the cup and cuts power to the skimmer before the cup overflows, and it also prevents the skimmer from restarting immediately after a power outage.
Why it matters
- Level control: An outer sensor and an inner viewer, both magnetic, are fitted on either side of the cup wall. When waste reaches the viewer, the skimmer is switched off automatically and restarts once the level drops.
- No modification: The sensor mounts on the cup without drilling or cutting. The viewer height sets the overflow limit.
- Restart delay: After power returns, the skimmer is switched on only two minutes later. This avoids a restart with a full sump that could push water over the cup.
- Alarms: Faults, removal of the cup, and the restart delay are signalled by a flashing red or blue light on the socket and an audible alarm matched to the event.

What it works with
The guard is designed for a skimmer connected through its socket, which switches the skimmer on and off and handles alarm signalling. Its 1100 W load limit and 8 mm maximum cup wall thickness determine which skimmers and cups it can be used with. Check these values against your skimmer before installation.

Frequently asked questions
No, the sensor mounts without drilling or cutting. The outer eye and inner viewer are held together by magnets through the cup wall, which can be up to 8 mm thick.
The skimmer is switched off automatically and immediately. It starts working again once the dirt level drops below the viewer.
No, the built-in delay switch waits two minutes after power returns before it switches the skimmer on. This prevents the sump water, which rises during an outage, from overflowing the cup when the skimmer restarts.
The socket's light flashes red for faults and blue when the delay switch is active. An audible alarm also sounds, depending on the type of alert.
The socket can carry a maximum load of 1100 W and uses a standard EU/PL 230 V earthed plug. The power cable is 3 m long.
