Blue Thumb Medium Elite Skimmer w/ Natural Lid - 10" (MPN PB1137)

The Pond Skimmer is the toughest, strongest, and easiest to install on the market today. It serves as the first line of defense against floating debris for any pond. If the reduction of maintenance tasks and the protection of your pond pump are important to you, investing in a Pond Skimmer is crucial. Located inside the skimmer, the pond pump draws water into the skimmer opening, mechanically filtering out leaves, twigs, and other floating debris from the garden pond. The debris is trapped inside a net and filter pad. These Elite Skimmers are contractor-grade products, with a thickness that is 38% greater than others on the market. Additionally, they feature molded ribs and gussets to prevent distortion once installed. The Elite Skimmers also include an optional autofill valve kit, an automatic fill valve fitting molded into the side of the skimmer, and an overflow fitting on the back of the skimmer to remove excess water due to heavy rain. The Pond Skimmer specifications are as follows: a weir opening of 10?, dimensions of 28.25? x 19.25? x 23.75?, a maximum pump flow of 10,000 gph, a recommended flow range of 5,000 to 7,500 gph, a max pond size of up to 21? x 26? (or a similar size), and it can handle a single pump configuration. The Pond Skimmer also comes with a natural faux lid, marine-grade self-tapping screws that cannot strip out, and various components like the Green Matala Mat, Stainless Frame Mesh Debris Net, Rubber Uni-Seals for two discharge points, and plumbing fittings for overflow. It also includes black silicone, screw caps, pre-plumbed autofill spinweld with a plug, and full-color instructions.
