 Easily retrofit your existing pond with this skimmer unit. Effectively removes floating leaves from the surface. It has a large basket strainer capacity. The float weir allows varied pond water level. Requires water suction from intake side of a pump to operate. Minimum flow rate is 800 GPH. Requires a 1-1/2" minimum side wall or floor port to "tap into" suction side of pump. A rigid or flexible liner can be retrofitted to use this skimmer by adding a bulkhead fitting to the wall or floor of a pond (for proper positioning in pond). The float ring weir has up to 5-1/2" of vertical travel to allow for water level changes; ie: filter back-flushes, water changes and waves created by waterfall. The skimmer has a 1-1/2" NPT female thread in the bottom of the skimmer for suction line hook up. Strong construction - made from ABS Cycolac. Easy to clean. Features a large basket, larger skimmer float, and skims 360 degrees around. |
