Deltec has released additional information on their new white, dual chamber bubble plate line=. The most notable release being their in-sump SC line. The TC and SC acronyms come from Twin Chamber and Single Chamber, with the numbers following represent the body diameter and height.
For eample, SC 2560 means an in-sump (single chamber) skimmer with a body diameter of 250mm and height of 600mm. Although the SC does appear to be split into two chambers, they are sealed shut from each other, forcing the pump to draw raw water straight from the sump, like many high end small footprint skimmers.
SC2560 / TC2560 Estimated UK Price : £959 or $1,500USD
At this point Deltec has not given any price differentiation between the TC and SC lines of the same size. Typically external skimmers are more costly, but there does not appear to be an increased in materials used in the external. (In fact the SC internal line appears more labor intensive) Deltec is known for high performing and high priced equipment, but in this case the anticipated UK price is just a bit lower than their previous models. The TC 2560 and SC 2560 are anticipated to cost £959 (~$1,450USD) while the model it will supersede is likely the AP902 which retails for £1000-£1080 ($1,520-$1,600USD).
