Skimmer

How does a skimmer work in a pond?

A skimmer in a pond serves to keep the water surface clean and free of debris. It sucks up leaves, pollen, dust and other dirt particles before they can sink to the bottom of the pond and disturb the biological balance. The skimmer in the pond usually works in conjunction with a pond pump, which directs the water through a collection basket or filter insert where the contaminants are retained.

Pond skimmer: crystal-clear water made easy

A clean pond starts at the surface. With a high-quality skimmer for your pond, you can achieve a visible improvement in water quality in a short time. The continuous removal of surface debris prevents organic materials from decomposing and polluting the water.

How long should a skimmer run in the pond?

How long a skimmer should run in a pond depends largely on the external conditions and the degree of contamination in the pond. It is generally recommended to run the skimmer continuously during the day, as this is when most contaminants enter the pond due to wind and the environment.

Pond skimmers: Optimal solutions for koi ponds and garden ponds

Whether you have a small garden pond or a large koi pond, the right skimmer will significantly improve the water quality. For koi ponds, which are subject to high biological stress, we recommend powerful skimmers with a larger collection volume and a robust filter system.
