Choose Skimmer Location
The skimmer should be positioned at the pond edge,
opposite the waterfall, to circulate the water properly.
Excavation of Skimmer Area
Set skimmer box in intended area and spray outline of
skimmer for area to be excavated.
The skimmer should be positioned so that the face of the
skimmer will meet with the pond liner at the side of the
pond. Excavate the hole a few inches larger than the width
and length of the skimmer box.
The skimmer should be set at a depth that positions the
top of the skimmer box approximately 3.5” above your
desired pond water level. This will set your water level
1” below the top edge of the snout opening allowing
clearance for surface debris to ow into the skimmer
during normal operation.
Position & Backll Skimmer
Your skimmer should be level from front to back and
side to side. Make sure the base below your skimmer is
compacted well to prevent settling in the future. Slide the
mechanical media mat and black mesh net into position.
Once the skimmer is properly positioned begin lling the
soil in around the back and sides. Be sure to pack the soil
as you go to help keep the skimmer in position and to limit
any settling around the skimmer. You should pack the soil
tight enough so that the skimmer is held in position tightly
but not so much as to distort the sides of the skimmer.
