Aquascape Signature Series 200 Pond Skimmer
Professional Mechanical Filtration for Smaller Ponds
The Aquascape Signature Series 200 Pond Skimmer is a compact yet powerful solution for maintaining a clean and clear pond surface. Engineered for water gardens up to 200 square feet, this skimmer acts as the first line of defense in your filtration system. By capturing leaves, grass clippings, and other floating debris before they sink and decay, it helps prevent water quality issues and significantly reduces the need for manual pond vacuuming.
The Signature Series 200 is built with Aquascape’s legendary durability, featuring a rounded shape that maximizes structural strength against the pressure of surrounding soil. Its user-friendly design ensures that seasonal maintenance is a quick and effortless task.
Key Features:
-
Efficient Surface Skimming: Effectively removes floating debris from ponds up to 200 sq. ft., protecting your pump and biological filter.
-
6-Inch Weir Door: The floating weir automatically adjusts to the pond's water level, ensuring optimal skimming performance even with slight evaporation.

Why Use a Skimmer? A skimmer is essential for a low-maintenance ecosystem. Without one, debris falls to the bottom of the pond, where it turns into muck and sludge, fueling algae growth and depleting oxygen levels. The Signature Series 200 catches that waste at the surface, keeping your water healthy and your fish happy.
Installation Tip: For the most natural appearance, install the skimmer at the opposite end of the pond from your waterfall or stream. This creates a "sweep" effect, using the current to push all floating debris directly toward the skimmer's weir door.

Filter Brushes: For enhanced mechanical filtration, many pond owners add optional filter brushes behind the debris net.
