PondMAX Submersible In-Pond Skimmer

PondMAX PS300 In-Pond Skimmer provides surface skimming for garden ponds where a built-in skimmer is not available or where a retrofit solution is preferred. Installed directly in the pond, it collects leaves and other floating debris in a removable debris basket before the water moves through the connected pump system.

The telescoping center pipe allows the skimmer height to be adjusted, and the self-adjusting floating sleeve accommodates up to 6 in. of water-level fluctuation. A large receptacle base can be weighted with rocks, bricks, or pieces of concrete to help hold the skimmer in place. Because the unit is installed in the pond, no liner cutting or structural modification is required.

The PS300 is designed for pond surface areas up to 300 sq. ft. and works with pump flow rates from 1,500 to 4,000 GPH. It includes a stepped hosetail for 1 in., 1-1/4 in., and 1-1/2 in. connections. Regular debris-basket cleaning is required to maintain skimming performance.

How it works

1. A connected pump creates water draw through the PS300 In-Pond Skimmer.

2. Surface water enters through the floating sleeve, which self-adjusts with changes in water level.

3. Leaves and other floating debris are collected in the removable debris basket.

4. Water continues through the center pipe and outlet to the connected pump system.

5. The floating sleeve allows up to 6 in. of water-level fluctuation while maintaining surface skimming.
