pond skimmer

pond skimmer is designed to remove (skim) floating debris by suction and thus remove some of the potential biological debris polluting the water or making it cloudy. Inside a pond skimmer is normally a plastic mesh or wire basket which catches the debris sucked into the pond skimmer unit. The size of the mesh determines what size of solid can pass through the pond skimmer … this means a solids handling pump matching the mesh size must be chosen. Fixed pond skimmers sit on the bottom of the pond or on a brick to elevate them depending upon depth.
