BECKETTS SKIMMER / ETS

The Beckett head is a radical modification of a traditional venturii .The design of the Beckett utilizes the same concept of forcing water through a restriction. However, in this application, the restriction is located right before a large three-dimensional ball. A spike-shaped divider evenly restricts the water stream over the ball and forces the water under the four air intakes, evenly spaced at ninety degrees apart.

Water travelling past the spike and around the ball results in air being drawn in from the four intakes. Once past the ball the air/water mix rapidly expands and creates micro bubbles. In comparison to the traditional venturii the Beckett head amplifies the amount of air drawn in. Due to the design of the valve there is a significant increase in the amount of bubbles created. Additionally, the size of the bubbles are much smaller than using a traditional venturii valve. Bubble generation from the Beckett head is solely dependent on the force of water through it, the stronger the push (i.e. pump pressure) through the Beckett, the more consistent the water stream flows over the mixing ball. Faster water movement through the Beckett head results in increased air intake and smaller bubble formation, so a combination of a strong and powerful pump will provide the best end result.
