Helix Pond Skimmer PRE-PACKAGED with a ShinMaywa Pump & Quick Release CVA!

Description: Practical Garden Ponds has taken the Helix Pond Skimmer, the POND Trade Magazine 2012 Product of the Year and our #1 choice in pond skimmers, and pre-packed it with a ShinMaywa solids-handling pump and a quick release check valve assembly! Experience the benefits of the Helix Pond Skimmer: it is rugged, compact, effective, fish-friendly, and versatile. Rugged Construction The first thing you notice looking at the Helix Skimmer is the strong and extremely durable construction of the Helix Pond Skimmer. Made in the USA from heavy-duty Rotational Molded HDPE, and will hold up better than any other skimmer we have tried. Especially in regions with compacted soil and heavy freeze-thaw cycles, weaker skimmers can easily be crushed. Compact Profile The Helix Pond Skimmer is tall but not wide, giving it a very low profile around the pond and making it easier to hide with rocks around the edge of the pond. The Helix Skimmer also has an optimum fill height that is just 2" from the top of the skimmer, allowing you to have a clean pond edge and a fuller-looking pond. Since it doesn't require a lid, it can also be easily covered with a large stone or faux stone (such as the Atlantic Water Gardens RL30) Effective Operation The Helix Pond Skimmer has a round strainer basket that is modeled after swimming pool skimmer baskets. This time-tested, familiar technology creates a helical (spiral-shaped) flow that effectively traps debris. The rigid basket is tight-fitting, so that debris cannot bypass the basket. The default basket is 8" in diameter and 8" tall, but the helical flow compresses debris into the basket, giving it higher capacity. If you are using an external pump, we offer an upgrade to the 16" or 24" long leaf baskets for enormous capacity. The weir opening of the skimmer is 15", allowing for flow rates from 1500-8000gph. Fish-Friendly Design Most skimmers have a weir door at the entrance to the skimmer chamber. Once they slip past this skimmer door, fish can become trapped inside. The Helix Pond Skimmer does not have a weir door, making it safer for fish. The floating weir inside the leaf basket sits right at the top of the water level, helping prevent fish from getting inside.
