Install Submersible Pump (Not Included)
Screw your pre-assembled pump discharge
assembly into your pump.
Position your pump and discharge assembly in the
back chamber of the skimmer so that the top of the
discharge assembly faces the discharge hole.
Bring the exible pipe into the skimmer through
the discharge hole and attach it to your discharge
assembly.
Run the pump power cord over to the power source
and position the cord so that it transitions out of the
skimmer at the cord notch; this will allow the Natural
Landscape Lid to sit ush on the skimmer.
Finishing Touches
Place the Natural Landscape Lid on top of the
skimmer to disguise the skimmer within the
landscape.
Maintenance
During normal operation the skimmer net will
remove larger leaves and debris while the mat will
remove the smaller particles allowing the clean
water to ow into the pump chamber area where
it can be recirculated back to the pond, preferably
via the appropriately sized Blue Thumb Biological
Waterfall Filter. As necessary, remove the lter mat
and mesh net and clean thoroughly.
