Skimming Action - Pulls debris from the surface of the water, capturing it in a rigid leaf basket with a handle for clean, no mess disposal. Biological Filtration - Filter media provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonize the skimmerfilter, converting biological waste from fish, ammonia and other toxins to inert forms for healthier ponds. Mechanical Filtration - The skimmerfilter protects and extends the life of your pump, providing a place to conceal ugly equipment and plumbing. When used with a biological filtration system, the skimmer prefilters debris allowing your filter to work more efficiently. The skimmerfilter’s super strong injection molded housing and cylindrical design resists warping and compaction in the ground, winning the approval of landscape and irrigation professionals everywhere. It's large enough to accommodate a large submersible pump or two medium size pumps.
