INSTRUCTIONS FOR POND SKIMMER
We advise you, before installing the Pond Skimmer to read these instructions for use with utmost
care.
The Pond Skimmer will keep the surface of the pond dust-free and crystal clear.
GENERAL
A clear and dust-free water surface is a prerequisite for a fine appearance of the pond. During the
season, however, quite some dust, pollen, leaves and twigs will be blown on the water surface. To
remove this annoying dirt Velda has developed a surface cleaner. This Pond Skimmer is floating
on the water surface and continuously drains off the dirt from the water surface with the help of a
built in pond pump. The drained off dirt is caught in a waste receiver that can be easily rinsed. The
2
built in pump has a capacity of 2000 litres per hour and it keeps over 20 m of pond surface dust-
free and crystal clear.
PARTS
The Pond Skimmer is composed of the following parts (see illustration):
A) Floating ring
B) Waste receiver
C) Foam pattern
D) Float
E) Pump support
F) Pond pump with 10 metres of cable
G) Pump housing
H) Rubber ring for the cable bushing
INSTALLATION
The Pond Skimmer is supplied by Velda completely mounted so that it is ready for use. Place the
Pond Skimmer in the place wanted in the pond and connect the cable with a fixed power source.
Now the pump will operate and through the floating ring the surface water and the dirt along with it
will be drained off. When with the lapse of time the draining effect should decrease, the waste re-
ceiver and the foam pattern should be rinsed. Owing to the outflowing water of the built in pump,
the Pond Skimmer will find its own way on the water surface of the pond. The length of the cable
(10 m) and any obstacles on the water surface will decide where the Pond Skimmer will go. If you
want to fix the Pond Skimmer, however, in a certain place, you can weight the cable in the place
you want on the pond bottom, as a result of which the freedom of movement of the Pond Skimmer
will be restricted.
MAINTENANCE
Every now and then also the rotor of the built in pump will have to be cleaned. If you have a proper
look at the construction when demounting it, assembly will not cause any problem. Please take
care that the rubber ring for the cable bushing will be correctly mounted again. Remove the plug
from the receptacle and remove the Pond Skimmer from the pond.
When demounting proceed as follows (see illustration):
1. Remove the floating ring and the green waste receiver.
2. Now carefully loosen the pump housing from the pump support by pressing the click con-
nections.
3. Unscrew the pond pump from the pump housing.
4. Clean the pump and the bushing in the pump housing with the help of a small brush.
Subsequently, the Pond Skimmer can be mounted again in reverse order.
