Reef Octopus CL220F Automatic Neck Cleaner with Float Switch Hole
The Reef Octopus CL220F is a premium performance-enhancing accessory designed for the larger 10-inch neck diameters found in high-capacity protein skimmers. This "F" version of the 220-series cleaner is uniquely equipped with a float switch port, making it the perfect upgrade for XP3000int, XP3000ext, XP3000sss, SRO3000sss, POV3, Elite 220int/sss, Regal 220int/sss skimmer models. By combining automated neck wiping with your skimmer's existing safety shut-off capabilities, the CL220F ensures peak efficiency and overflow protection in one integrated lid.
Internal organic buildup—often referred to as "skimmer mud"—creates surface tension that traps bubbles and restricts the flow of waste into your collection cup. The CL220F utilizes a motorized dual-blade assembly to clear this buildup multiple times per day, keeping the foam path unobstructed and significantly increasing the volume of waste your skimmer removes from the water column. Constructed from heavy-duty cast acrylic, this automated cleaner reduces manual maintenance while ensuring your filtration remains consistent and reliable.
