About Helix Pond Skimmer
--Rugged Construction-- The Helix Skimmer features strong and extremely durable construction. Made in the USA from heavy-duty Rotational Molded HDPE, it holds up better than most other skimmers, especially in regions with compacted soil and heavy freeze-thaw cycles where 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 inches 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. --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 basket is 8 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall, but the helical flow compresses debris into the basket, giving it higher capacity. The weir opening of the skimmer is 15 inches, 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. --Versatile Options-- The Helix Pond Skimmer is 35 inches Tall x 19 inches Wide x 18 inches Long. Its large, flat side panels can easily support an auto-fill valve without it becoming encumbered with debris.
