General Product Information
 


The purpose of a skimmer is to remove leaves, needles, and other debris that normally floats on top of the pond. Algreen's pond skimmer is designed to support ponds up to 5,000 gallons in volume. The skimmer's enclosure is manufactured from high molecular weight Polyethylene which is able to withstand extreme temperatures and is guaranteed to last forever (backed by a lifetime warranty).

There is a significant amount of space in the skimmer which allows you to house most waterfall pumps such that the pump is hidden from view. The skimmer comes with a trap basket (with a filter) that is easy to remove and handle and provides you with ease of maintenance. An additional filter mat is included for secondary filtration.

Installation Instructions
 
 
1. Dig a hole adjacent to the pond and slightly larger than the skimmer box. Make sure the bottom of the skimmer hole is compacted and level. Place the skimmer into the hole and backfill. Level the skimmer box from front to back and side to side. When you’re finished the normal water level is 3/4" to 1-1/2" below the top of the weir opening.
2. Connect the skimmer to the pond liner. Hold the liner up against the skimmer opening allowing approximately 1" extension above the top of the skimmer box. Allow sufficient slack liner below the weir opening (the pond liner will settle a little after you have completed installation). Mark the perimeter of the weir opening and then cut out a hole 1/4" smaller than the weir opening.
3. Reassemble the weir onto the skimmer box with the pond liner (purchased separately) sandwiched between the weir assembly and skimmer box. Locate the top two corner mounting holes. Using an awl or nail carefully punch holes through the pre-drilled weir plate and liner where the mounting screws are located. Insert the blackened screws and check alignment. The pond liner should fit comfortably.
4. Disassemble and apply the provided fish safe silicone sealant to the skimmer box around the weir opening and the screw holes. Reassemble. Punch the remaining holes through the liner. Insert screws and tighten nuts in the following order – 1. Top two corners, 2. Bottom two corners, 3. Remaining holes.
5. Take the two barb-head fittings that are provided and tightly screw them into the bulkhead fitting in the back of the skimmer. To connect a waterfall pump (purchase separately) you place the pump in the back of the skimmer behind the basket and filter mat. Using non-kink tubing and clamps (purchase separately) connect the tubing to the barb-head fitting and secure with a clamp.

With the flat plastic lid that is provided you may wish to use landscape materials to blend it into the surrounding features.

 
Skimmer Operation

The skimmer is designed to supplement a regular pond filter by removing leaves and other surface debris. For best results it should be run continuously. The skimmer basket should be cleaned regularly. Failure to do so may reduce water flow through the skimmer and could cause pump damage. Pump sold separately.

 
How to Clean Your Skimmer

Take off the plastic lid and remove the basket from the skimmer and empty out any debris that is caught in the basket. Hose off any other debris that is caught in it. Remove the filter pad and gently rinse it in a large bucket or tub filled with pond water. Cleaning it under tap water will kill any beneficial bacteria that may have built up in the foam.

PONTEC Marathon Pumps

STARTING AT ONLY $ 49.98

I received the Pontec Marathon 650 and hose kit yesterday and have installed it already - quite as expected (it's quite a 'gusher', I like the wrap-around cage to screen out large debris, and also the thermal overload protection) and I appreciate the fast service and low price.  Around here, much smaller capacity pumps alone cost much more - and with you I got the hose too!
Mike, Ridgetown, ON

I couldn't be more pleased. The pump (Pontec Marathon 800) is exactly what I needed. It arrived in only 2 days which is excellent delivery by any standards. I am delighted with your service and I will recommend you folks to everyone in search of pond products. Take a bow!
