Installation
A) Place the High Flow Skimmer opposite the waterfall
or water return in an easily accessible location.
B) Avoid placing rocks or plants in front of
the High Flow Skimmer. Anything placed in
front will interfere with the water flow and
skimming action.
C) Waterfalls generally face the viewing area.
Place the High Flow Skimmer so it faces the
waterfall. This hides the High Flow Skimmer
from view and allows for easy access.
D) Positioning the High Flow Skimmer on
the downwind side of the pond will aid in
the effective collection of floating debris.
This is less important than placing the High
Flow Skimmer opposite the waterfall but it
is a significant design consideration.

Mark Water Level Dig Skimmer Hole
With the pond full, mark position of water level
on the liner at the Skimmer location. Partially
drain pond, 8”-10” before proceeding.
5” back from the coping shelf, dig a round hole
measuring 22” across, with a depth of 14” be-
low the marked water line. Dig the front of the
hole 1/4” deeper than the back to compensate
for settling.
Dig a channel 6-3/4” below the water line (see diagram A), measuring 15” wide (see diagram B), to rest
the neck of the Skimmer. Compact and level the bottom of excavation. Do not dig too deeply or the
soil may settle unevenly.
