What size is the collection cup?

I was looking up the specs, it says 3.5" neck diameter and 8" cone base:

If the cup is also 8" diameter, then the 8" Swabbie will work for you.

As for a carbon top, we've had much more interest in our Skimmate Lockers as they serve a dual purpose (smell containment and auto skimmer shutoff) and work better too.

The standard 8" Swabbie will fit the cup and will work with your size neck perfectly. Thanks for your interest!

Here is an i-Tech 200 cup we modified for a customer. We installed a retrofit Swabbie and a bottom drain for a skimmate locker:
