Standard Black surface skimmer (In-Wall concrete or liner)

Pond Skimmers are a very important and fundamental part of any pond construction, yet are so often overlooked by some pond builders or designers.

Pond Skimmers are designed to remove floating debris, foam bubbles and dust from your pond’s water surface by suction, giving the water a polished look. These easy to install and relatively economical devices can save hours in cleaning and maintenance and really can improve the overall water quality of your pond.

A Standard Black Surface Skimmer can make all the difference between enjoying a pond and beginning to resent it. A properly functioning skimmer will collect leaves and anything else that lands on the surface of your pond and collect it into a basket, where it can be easily disposed of. Without a pond skimmer you are sentenced to a life of continually having to clean and remove debris from the pond’s surface. In addition, pond skimmers will remove all this debris before it has a chance to sink and degrade, help to improve the general water quality and aid in the prevention of extra strain being placed on our filtration systems.

Even if you were considering building a pond indoors you should still install a skimmer because in addition to leaves, they skim off the “Dissolved Organic Compounds” (DOC). Dissolved Organic Compounds will form in any pond, and if not removed will cause an unsightly film and bubbles on the water’s surface. Considering the little amount they cost, the benefits are tremendous.

The Standard Black Surface Skimmer is an important piece of equipment for any pond, but more essentially for the Koi Pond and it is more often forgotten about at the time of constructing the pond: most koi keepers wish they had put one in at the time of construction.

If you are going to build a new Koi pond then please don’t forget to fit one of these surface skimmers, on larger ponds two or more may be needed and these are built into the walls of the pond at the time of construction.

Oase Swim Skim 50

The successful SwimSkim concept has been consistently further developed: The big brother of the multi-talented SwimSkim 25 now keeps pond surfaces up to 50 m2 free of leaves, pollen, or similar particles.

Thanks to the innovative whirlpool function of the Oase SwimSkim 50, contaminants on the pond floor are stirred up and thus the Oase SwimSkim 50 is an ideal supplement to the FiltoMatic CWS. An aerator function that supplies the pond with vital oxygen, is also integrated.

Characteristics:

• The result is clearly improved water quality and viewing depth through direct removal of pollutants on the surface
• Integrated injector that enriches the pond with oxygen
• Extremely strong suction
• Easy cleaning with basket removal
• Automatic adaptation to any water level (from 40 cm water depth)
• Powerful suction cleaning of pond surfaces up to 50 m²
• Powerful suction cleaning of pond surfaces up to 50 m²
• Including whirlpool function for avoidance of floor sedimentation
• Special energy-saving Eco motor technology
