General Product Information

Compact Skimmerfilter® – For Smaller Ponds & Water Features

Proof that excellence does come in small sizes, the SAVIO Compact Skimmerfilter® is based on the best-selling SAVIO Skimmerfilter®. Reducing pond maintenance, while blending with the surrounding landscape, the Compact Skimmerfilter® collects debris, clears water, and hides unsightly pumps. This mighty skimmer delivers dynamic multi-stage filtration for smaller ponds and water features, providing a complete filtration system for ponds up to 700 gallons, and a skimming solution for ponds up to 2,500 gallons. Like its larger predecessor, it combines four types of filtration for optimal water quality: skimming, mechanical, biological, and UV filtration.

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 - Two filter media cartridges provide 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.

UV Filtration - SAVIO Skimmerfilters® are the only skimmers on the market with a patented integrated UV system (optional equipment - sold separately) - a safe, chemical free way to eliminate green water.

SAVIO's 2nd Generation UV Clarifier is the product of nearly 2 years of R&D. Introducing the latest breakthrough in clear water technology - UVinex™. Safe chemical free algae control in a sleek, new design exclusive to Savio. Coated bulb technology does away with fragile glass sleeves and is virtually maintenance free - simply wipe clean with a damp cloth to restore full effectiveness. 

Although compact in size compared to the larger Skimmerfilter®, it still boasts the same durable, injection-molded housing that has won the acclaim of landscape professionals everywhere. Like the Skimmerfilter®, this all-in-one approach eliminates the need for extra plumbing and equipment, while reducing plumbing.

Two faceplate assemblies are available to accommodate a variety of pump sizes.

Customer Feedback

May 09, 2006
After 4 days of use with the UV light (Compact Skimmerfilter with 16 Watt UVC) I can see the bottom of the pond now. The water is crystal clear for about 1-1/4 ft deep.........no more green pea soup water......
Gaetan, Gatineau, QC

I just came in from sitting beside the pond.  One of the nice things about the process of building the pond was the excellent service you provided.  My son says he needs a UV clarifier.  We'll be a return customer!  Again, many thanks.

Thermopond 3.0 Pond Deicer

ONLY $ 79.98

I wanted to mention that the floating de-icer I bought from you guys a couple years ago works like a charm. My pond is only about a foot deep, but with the de-icer my fish overwinter in the pond! Great purchase.
Thanks again,
Michaela, Dundas, ON

Just a quick note, the heaters I purchased last year worked great, we had the coldest winter on record for the past 30 years, the two heaters kept the water open. Pretty good heaters!!!
Barry, Calgary, AB

Pond heater arrived fast and works like a charm even in -30C wind chill.
Gord, Ottawa, ON

I did receive my Thermo Pond Deicer very promptly and immediately put it into my pond.  Within hours it had made a hole in the ice and the fish were swimming around the outside and seemed to be enjoying themselves just like they had a hot tub!!!!  Thanks again for the exceptional service and competitive pricing.

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!

I've dealt with you folks on at least two previous occasions, and each time the service quality including concern resolution has been the best it could be. Thanks again so much for the extraordinary service....you certainly have gained my loyalty. I'll be back and hopefully the transactions will be much more straight forward in future. God don't make better pond people! Kindest regards,
John, Cranbrook, BC
