The skimmer floats just below the surface collecting floating leaves and other debris in the convenient basket that can be emptied as required. The basket filtered water than travels through the filter located on the floor of the pond or raised platform as required. The basic setup is to locate the filter from 31 inches to 36 inches under the surface of the water. The skimmer basket allows for 6 inches of movement to accomodate water level fluctuations. The actual setup can be adjusted by cutting the verticle pipe or placing the filter on a platform. The filter uses polyester and foam filter material. But you can use any material of your choosing. The base size of the filter is 23.75" by 12.5" by 4.5". The Danner Mag Drive 18 or Mag Drive 24 pumps are recommended for use with this filter. See the Mag Drive 18 and See the Mag Drive 24 |
