Skimmer

 

  • Eliminates routine maintenance for you by removing debris before it sinks to the bottom of the pond.
  • Allows pond construction in any location, even directly beneath trees.
  • Hides the pump and plumbing from view alongside your pond instead of in the pond.
  • Won't drain the pond down if a leak develops in the plumbing or waterfalls. The water can only be pumped to the bottom of the skimmer opening.
  • The pump is easily removed by loosening one screw on the discharge piping above the water line.
  • High-density polyethylene construction assures strength with extreme durability.
  • Acts as a prefilter to other filters removing solids before they can reach and clog the second filter. Excellent prefilter for a biological filter where maximum dissolved oxygen levels are required.**
  • Keeps the pump free from clogging by trapping waste in a catch area before it reaches the pump.
  • Adaptable for pump sizes ranging from 300 gph to 20,000 gph.**
  • Requires only two to three minutes every other week to clean while standing outside the pond.

**For optimal skimming ability we recommend pumps rated for 1000 GPH or greater.
