Santa Monica Filtration RAIN4 Algae Scrubber


The RAIN4 is a pole-mounted Waterfall Algae Scrubber with waterproof submersible GEM5 lights and a Green Grabber screen, designed to reduce your glass cleaning and water changes while creating an environment for living micro-animals to grow inside the scrubber. Unlike the previous mountable RAIN2, the RAIN4 includes a pole mount, and sees improvements with double the surface area for algal attachment, two additional LEDs (6 total), and a dual power supply.


Features:
  • Can be placed anywhere in your sump, as low to the water as you like, saving space
  • No shelf or bracket required: Use the pole mount (included with the RAIN4) to place the RAIN4 on the bottom of your sump
  • Includes a 2 mm thick, 2 sided, 48 square inch Green Grabber® algae attachment screen, designed for enhanced algal growth
  • Will run on both 120V and 240V
  • Submersible GEM5 lights keep the 240 or 120 volts far (2 meters) away, with only a safe low voltage going into your sump area
  • Dual power supply with two 10 ft (300 cm) power cords with simple 2-prong a U.S. plugs, which can be easily modified
  • Dry-Out proof: Power outages will not affect it if you place it low enough in your sump
  • Can be used as a stand-alone filter or in conjunction with most other filters
  • Includes a 1 year warranty for replacement or repair
  • Requires a water pump that can pump at least 200 gph (760 lph) water flow 24 hours a day. 300 gph (1135 lph) might be better to fill up all areas of the screen
  • Includes a 1 ¾” (44.5mm) diameter drain hole, which can be used with a standard 1” ID drain bulkhead and a standard 1” (25mm) schedule 40 pvc pipe
  • Requires 4" (10cm) head room to remove lid if placing in sump or cabinet

Lighting:
  • Includes 6 LED, submersible GEM5 strip lights mounted inside the dome lid cover
  • Additional GEM5 lights are sold HERE and can be mounted to the dome using silicone glue
  • Each GEM5 light uses 5 real watts (volts X amps) for the power; it does not use "equivalent" watts like CFL lights do (As a result, each GEM5 light puts out the same algal-growth illumination that a "larger" 10 watt LED or 20 watt CFL bulb does)
  • Each GEM5 is pure deep red 660nm (nanometer), which is the primary growth spectrum for macroalgae (seaweed)
  • Lights are controlled by 2 power supplies so that you can start off with fewer lights when needed and control them easier with a controller if you have one. Two power supplies is also great for backup, in order to always have some of the lights operating (photosynthesis water filtering only works when illuminated).
  • Power supplies are fully isolated, low-voltage, and CE, UL, Canadian UL, and FCC approved
  • Patent-pending case is a solid, high-tech material which not only completely seals the LEDs when under water, but also removes heat from the LEDs when above the water
  • The lights require no cooling fans or heat sinks
  • Lights can be put on a timer to improve growth and filtering
  • Underwater Rated: IP65, IP66, IP66K, IP67, IP68, IP69K (high pressure steam proof)

Specifications:
  • Dimensions (without mount): 10" long x 5" wide x 13" high (25cm long x 12.5cm wide x 32cm high). Dimensions with pole mount will depend on your choice of pole mount segments.
  • Required Head Room: RAIN2 will need 4" (10cm) above the top of the light-cover dome lid in order to remove the lid. However you can lift the whole tray unit up off of a pole mount, with as little as 2" (5cm) head room
  • LEDs: 6 deep red (660nm), 5 watt submersible & waterproof LED GEM5 strip lights
  • Drain Pipe (optional): You can add one by using a standard 1" ID drain bulkhead which fits standard 1" (25mm) schedule 40 pvc pipe. The drain hole in the tray is 1 3/4" (44.5mm) diameter
