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.

The pump is not included as it’s not a fully built-in system, and I recommend that you use a pump with a flow rate between 8000-16000L/hr. This gives you quite a bit of flexibility in how strongly you want the water to run through the skimmer, perhaps depending on the level of debris, the pond contains. CATCHES THE FINEST DEBRIS: Designed to catch even the finest plant debris that is almost impossible to remove with a net.

A pond skimmer is a filter that removes debris mechanically from the surface of the water. (The Oase SwimSkim 50 is the only model in this review to stir up the water and bring the sunken debris up to the surface.) The pond water is filtered through a mesh/screen or some kind of foam to remove the bits and pieces that are collected in the basket. How do floating pond skimmers work? ADJUSTS TO WATER LEVEL: The floating ring is designed to allow the CrystalSkim to still skim the water's surface even if the skimmer isn't level. All of the waste is collected in a removable basket, so it can be easily cleaned. Thanks to the dark colours and modern design of the skimmer, it blends well into most ponds and discreetly works it way around thanks to the integral 2500 litre re circulating pump.

Trapping the organic materials before they decay is one way to reduce the production of ammonia in the water. This is what pond skimmers do. Features of the best pond skimmers Floating or stationary? This rectangular pond skimmer is suitable for ponds with volumes between 1900L and 3800L. The filtration system is mechanical through a (replaceable) filter pad. The collection basket is large enough to collect a decent amount of debris, including leaves.

Pond skimmers need a pump to bring the water into their filtration system and then to return the clean water to the pond. A water pump does this task. Some pond skimmers come with a built-in pump and others need to be placed in line with your existing water pump. The Oase Swimskim skimmers powerfully and effectively extract dirt particles from the surface, collecting them in the basket. This method of cleaning removes all types of pollutants, including an excess of nutrients so that the water in your pond or pool is beautifully clear and clean. A fine grade sponge performs both mechanical and biological filtration to ensure a thoroughly cleansed pond. Powerful suction for removal of debris on pond surfaces up to 20m² (AquaSkim 20) or 40m² (AquaSkim 40)
