Description
Atlantic-OASE AquaSkim in-pond Surface Skimmer
Product Details
The Oase AquaSkim 40 In-Pond Surface Skimmer effectively tackles surface debris in hard-to-reach areas. This floor-mounted in-pond surface skimmer is designed to efficiently remove leaves and floating debris from the water’s surface before they can sink to the bottom of the pond.
One of the key benefits of the AquaSkim 40 is its adaptability. A telescopic design easily accommodates reservoir depths from 19″ to 36″ without any modifications. For shallower ponds, you can trim the support tube to fit depths as low as 11″. The floating ring automatically adjusts to fluctuations in water levels up to 6″, ensuring continuous operation even as water levels change.
The AquaSkim 40 makes maintenance easy. Its easy-to-clean debris basket can be retrieved without entering the pond, saving you time and effort. Plus, the broad base allows you to stabilize it by adding stones, so you can be confident it will stay in place.
Ideal for supplementing your pond’s existing filtration system, the AquaSkim 40 works seamlessly with the secondary suction on 1,600 to 4,200 GPH AquaMax Eco Premium pumps. It measures 14″ W x 32″ H and includes a Sch40 adapter and a metric kink-free hose adapter to connect to hose sizes of 1″, 1.25″, or 1.5″. With its durable design and a 2-year warranty, the AquaSkim 40 offers peace of mind and long-lasting performance.
