allpondsolutions Pond Skimmer Standing Adjustable Koi Fish Pond Water Surface Skimmer Removes Leaves/Debris

Amazing skimmer been using from 1 year now, reduces cleaning frequency.

It works really well combined with a pump its made the surface of my koi pond crystal clear, I wish I had bought one years ago.

I bought this to clear the duckweed but the basket that collects the debris has quite large holes that the duckweed would pass through . So I made an “inner “ liner from a fishing net and now it catches the duckweed as well as leaves

Great product. It keeps my pond surface clear. There is a problem if you have newts in your pond. The mesh in the strainer is wide and would allow newts to be pulled into the pump. I put some coarse filter foam into the bottom of the strainer which catches the newts. It does not effect the pump flow but it does need checking daily for captured newts.

I bought a normal pump to run the filter. I then realised that it needs a 2 way pump; an inlet to draw in water and an outlet to release water. If this had been made clear within the description/information, I would not have wasted over £100 buying the wrong pump. It seems I am not the only one since I notice comments from people saying the filter does not work. This is because the pump is sending water up through the filter instead of drawing water down the tube. The blurb says that a certain size pump is recommended, but no mention of the type of pump required.

Apart from the instruction notes being misleading, regarding cutting the length of the filter cartridge down to size (manufacturing company informed of this error) I got the skimmer working OK, then found after a couple of weeks of good skimming, that air locks in the pipe between the pump and skimmer, causing the skimmer to completely fail to operate. I shortened this pipe but still got air locks. This pipe has to be weighted down, just like the skimmer to prevent air raising this pipe up. I am connected to a AqueECO 16000 pump which when the skimmer works, keeps the pond water nice and clear and a leaf free surface too.....

What can i say but just WOW i have had some skimmers from a diffent company before that were on there own and did not use a pond pump but this skimmer is so much better with in a few hours and made a big differnce to my pond very easy to clean you do need a good pump to run it but is well worth it

Completely ineffective as a skimmer. Frequently clogs and allows debris through which then blocks pump, or doesn't sit properly so pump fills with air and stops functioning. We've had so many issues with this we've uninstalled. Seller wouldn't accept a return as warranty only applies for 30 days apparently so have claimed under Amazon's A-Z
