Skimmers

  • 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.

  • Acts as a pre-filter to other filters removing solids before they can reach and clog the second filter.  Excellent pre-filter for 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.
