Excluding postcodes below inScottish Highlands and islands, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and Isle of Scilly: (Currently we do not deliver to Northern Ireland) This model does come with a long 10m power cable so it has plenty of reach to be able to connect it up to a power source. The skimmer does move around in the water at the end of the cable, as already mentioned, so I would consider tying it against the wall in a permanent position. Pros

Built-in pond skimmers are probably the best. Usually, they have a much bigger debris basket (usually at least 12 litres), however, they ideally need to be installed during the pond build itself. If you already have your pond, this is usually not an option or if you still decide to go down this route it will take a lot of modifications to install.The Oase Swim Skim 25 will also notably reduce the amount of time the pondkeeper has to spend netting out dead leaves from the bottom of the pond, which can be exhausting and difficult. Leaves, pollen or other algae nutrients get into pond water via the surface. OASE skimmers powerfully and effectively pull this debris from the surface into a collection basket.

Each SwimSkim 25 harvests floating debris from up to 25m2 of pond surface area. Built in aeration provides 300 litres of air per hour. Oase SwimSkim pond skimmer are highly beneficial for maintaining good water quality and promote the well-being of fish and wildlife. Multiple units can be installed around larger ponds to keep larger surfaces clear and aerated. Whichever option you choose, pay close attention to the flow rate of the pump that the manufacturer recommends. If the flow rate of your pump is not fast enough (it’s the L/hr number associated with the pump), the skimmer won’t work efficiently. The skimmer’s collection basket The integrated “green” as Oase calls it function, brings up debris from the bottom of the pond by swirling the water at 600L/hr. This causes the light organic matter to come up to the surface of the water where it’s pulled in by the skimmer in the usual way. Additionally, the debris still on the surface of the pond is captured. Unlike the flatter designs of the floating pond skimmers in this review, the AllPondSolutions Standing Pond Skimmer stands alone as a rod in the water. It covers medium-sized ponds of up to 40m2 in area. A handy element of this upright design is that you can adjust its height to between 0.7m and 0.9m. This lets this skimmer work in ponds with a variety of depths. The Swim Skim 25 has a handy integrated aeration function, which increases the amount of oxygen found in the water.

Why Buy From Us

The Oase Swimskim 25 has its own built in pump which causes a suction so that fallen leaves and pond debris are drawn towards its collection basket, the collection chamber can then easily be removed by hand, and the user can discard with its unwanted contents. By removing leaves and other undesirable pollutants, not only will the pond look cleaner, it should also aid the water quality.
