General Maintenance Of The Skimmer...

The low maintenance pond skimmer is designed to sweep the surface of the water so the fish pond  is free from debris and collected in an easy-to-remove access basket . The debris basket inside the skimmer is the first filter stage of the skimmer. The basket will collect leaves, twigs, seeds, and other debris that falls or blows into the pond. Here in Northern New Jersey (NJ) (Long Valley, NJ - Morris County) it only takes a few minutes every other week to empty the debris basket. The pond skimmer basket will require more frequent attention during the fall months because of the quantity of leaves falling off the surrounding trees.




It is a good habit during your first season with a new pond to periodically check the quantity of debris in the basket. This is especially true in the fall. Keep a mental note as to how often your basket has to be emptied. It's important that the debris basket is not allowed to become too full, as too much debris can reduce the water flow to the pump. General maintenance should be done weekly, and routine eyeball maintenance will let you know if it needs to be emptied. If your waterfalls slow down, then odds are your debris basket is full.
