Oase AquaSkim 20 Pond Surface Skimmer

Product Information

These skimmer units will greatly reduce pond maintenance requirements and also result in improved water quality and clarity. They can be used in conjunction with existing pumps and are the perfect compliment to the Aquamax Eco Premium range of filter pumps. The Oase AquaSkim Gravity floating skimmer slides directly over a 160 -110 mm reducer and can than be connected to the pump or filter via a 110 mm pipe. Oase CrystalSkim is designed with a floating ring that adjusts to the water level. It can handle long maintenance intervals without having to top up the water offering cleanliness over a long period of time. The integrated basket offers additional safety for your aquarium inhabitants. Does this surface skimmer remove plant debris?

The unit is designed to be easily and unobtrusively integrated into your pond via the fixed foot which can be anchored to the pond bottom by filling it with pebbles or gravel. The fully adjustable telescopic stem can then be adjusted to the correct height. Thanks to a free floating skimmer head it will also automatically alter its height (within a range of up to 100mm on the AquaSkim 20, and 120mm on the AquaSkim 40), to accommodate changing water levels due to rainfall or evaporation. Leaves, pollen and other algae nutrients get into the pond water via the surface. Oase skimmers powerfully and effectively extract these dirt particles from the surface, collecting them in the basket. That way, dirt can be removed from the pond ecosystem before it starts to pollute it. Oase CrystalSkim surface vacuum cleaner features a powerful yet quiet motor that can be easily adjusted by twisting and turning the hat of the skimmer. As a result, CrystalSkim produces a crystal clear water surface and active gas exchange at the right output level. By adjusting the water flow in your fish tank, you can create a variety of currents. This allows you to create different flow strengths. Oase AquaSkim Gravity has Powerful suction cleaning of pond surfaces up to 40 m. The result is clearly improved water quality and viewing depth through direct removal of pollutants on the surface. The Oase Swimskim skimmers powerfully and effectively extract dirt particles from the surface, collecting them in the basket.A pond skimmer is a filter that removes debris mechanically from the surface of the water. (The Oase SwimSkim 50 is the only model in this review to stir up the water and bring the sunken debris up to the surface.) The pond water is filtered through a mesh/screen or some kind of foam to remove the bits and pieces that are collected in the basket. How do floating pond skimmers work? The pump is not included as it’s not a fully built-in system, and I recommend that you use a pump with a flow rate between 8000-16000L/hr. This gives you quite a bit of flexibility in how strongly you want the water to run through the skimmer, perhaps depending on the level of debris, the pond contains.

COMPACT AND DISCREET: CrystalSkim is compact in size and has a powerful and quiet motor. In addition to skimming, the unit is designed with a bottom discharge that creates flow in what would be dead spots normally. The AquaSkim Gravity is designed to be easily integrated with existing gravity fed filter systems and can be easily attached to 110mm pipework via the included DN160/110 adaptor. Like the AquaSkim 40 It will remove debris from pond surfaces up to 40m² and accommodate water level variations up to 120mm.Powerful suction for removal of debris on pond surfaces up to 20m² (AquaSkim 20) or 40m² (AquaSkim 40)
