The application of a skimmer and bottom drain is essential in this regard. Skimmers can remove as much as 85% of debris before it settles to the bottom and is the most effective way of reducing maintenance and increasing the quality of your water. They can provide both mechanical and biological filtration all in one unit. It provides efficient removal of floating debris and oxygen robbing protein film. A leaf trap is included and offers easy removal of larger debris. Everything is removable for easy access and maintenance. The door automatically adjusts to the pond water level for more suction. The floating door prevents most fish from entering the basket. The addition of a skimmer will greatly reduce the maintenance and increase the enjoyment of your pond. Aquascape's family of field proven, time tested skimmers are the #1 selling skimmer in the water garden marketplace!  Why? Because they work!  No gizmos and gadgets designed by engineers behind a desk, but rather functional, easy to install and maitain filters designed by actual pond builders from Aquascape Inc in St.

aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">When installing a skimmer into a pond, always leave an extra 4"-6" of liner in a fold at the bottom front of the skimmer.  This is if you ever have to adjust the skimmer up in height, you can do so with out replacing the liner.  </li> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Make sure the end of overflow pipe that comes out of the bulkhead fitting in the center of the rear of the skimmer, is at least 4'-6' from the back of the skimmer.  If you can go farther, all the better.  Be sure that the overflow water can drain away from the skimmer.  Test it to be sure!  The reason why is   ...   if any of the overflow water gets under the skimmer, it will cause the skimmer to float upwards.  Several very bad things will happen to your pond.  First: If you did not put in the extra fold of liner as I described above, then the liner may tear where the screws that hold on the wier plate are causing a major leak.  Second: if the skimmer floats up, then the overflow rises up, which, now allows the pond level to raise.  If the pond level raises, then water may get under your pond liner and cause your pond liner to bubble which ... causes your rock walls to fall down.  Third:  When the skimmer floats up, the dirt along the side will fall to the bottom of the skimmer hole that you dug.  This dirt will now mix with the water forming flowable mud that will settle in the void created by the skimmer rising.  You will not be able to push the skimmer back down to its original position.  You will now have to drain the pond level down to below the original bottom of the skimmer hole.  Then you will have to detatch the liner from the skimmer.  Remove the skimmer and clean out all of the mud so the bottom is flat and compacted.  Next you will have to re-install the skimmer and re-attach the liner to the skimmer with new silicone.  Make sure to use the same holes in the liner from the first installation.</li> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Yes, this has all happen to me in my early years of pond installation.  So save yourself a lot of work and make sure your overflow water drains properly or I will tell you ... "I told you so!"</li> </ul>   <LI>SKU: Classic Skimmers <LI>Size of Classic Skimmer =: MicroSkim (Limited Quanities Left); Standard Skimmer; Large Skimmer; Grande Skimmer Other products in the category <A HREF="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Category2" TITLE="Water Garden & Pond Products">Water Garden & Pond Products</A> / <A HREF="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Category91" TITLE="Skimmer Units - Replacement Mats, Auto Fills, etc">Skimmer Units - Replacement Mats, Auto Fills, etc</A> / <A HREF="http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Category92" TITLE="Aquascape - Classic Series">Aquascape - Classic Series</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product451 TITLE="Aquascape - 1 1/2" Plumbing Assembly for use with MicroSkim Water Garden & Pond Skimmers">Aquascape - 1 1/2" Plumbing Assembly for use with MicroSkim Water Garden & Pond Skimmers</A> -- For use with Aquascape MicroSkim for easier pump intallation. <LI><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product362 TITLE="Aquascape 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Garden Fill Valve for Mechanical Water Garden Skimmers">Aquascape 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Garden Fill Valve for Mechanical Water Garden Skimmers</A> -- FINALLY...A Damage-Proof Automatic Valve For Fluid Level Control <LI><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product922 TITLE="1/4 x 1/4 Quick Connectors - Aquascape Automatic Water Fill Valve for Water Garden & Pond Skimmers">1/4 x 1/4 Quick Connectors - Aquascape Automatic Water Fill Valve for Water Garden & Pond Skimmers</A> -- Use to connect 1/4" to 1/4" pipe with no tools! <LI><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product477 TITLE="1/4 x 100 ft Poly Pipe for 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Fill Valve for Water Garden & Pond Skimmers">1/4 x 100 ft Poly Pipe for 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Fill Valve for Water Garden & Pond Skimmers</A> -- Ľ" x 100 ft. poly pipe is extremely flexable making it easier to install and hide than the 1/2 inch irrigation pipe. <LI><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product478 TITLE="Brass Quick Connect Water Spigot Fitting for Aquascape 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Fill Valve">Brass Quick Connect Water Spigot Fitting for Aquascape 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Fill Valve</A> -- This fitting is used to connect Ľ inch poly piping to a conventional outside water spigot. <LI><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product479 TITLE="Irrigation Conversion Kit (1/2" to 1/4") for Aquascape 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Fill Valve">Irrigation Conversion Kit (1/2" to 1/4") for Aquascape 1/2" Hudson Automatic Water Fill Valve</A> -- New 1/2 inch conversion kit allows Water Fill Valve to be adapted to conventional irrigation lines. <LI><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product1017 TITLE="Aquascape 2008 Product Catalog For Water Garden & Pond Lovers">Aquascape 2008 Product Catalog For Water Garden & Pond Lovers</A> -- Aquascape's 2008 Water Gardening Product Catalog <LI><A HREF=http://shop.tjb-inc.com/Product910 TITLE="Pond Builder's Bible - By Aquascape Inc (Latest Revised 2007 Edition) for Contractors or Hobbyists">Pond Builder's Bible - By Aquascape Inc (Latest Revised 2007 Edition) for Contractors or Hobbyists</A> -- This book was designed for sale only to contactors but TJB-INC has made it avalable to everyone who is interested in water features and who want to have their questions or concerns answered. <A HREF="http://shop.tjb-inc.com" TITLE="TJB-INC Products">TJB-INC Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.TJB-INC.com">TJB-INC</A> TJB-INC <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
