About this deal

This information allows consistent decisions to be provided, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, religion or disability. If you decline my application, what is the reason? This is a simple (and one of the more affordable) model that uses a plastic mesh screen to remove debris from the water. Simply remove the basket, empty it and then rinse it to keep the skimmer running well. The hose attachment for this unit comes with three adapters of different sizes – 25/32/38mm. You’re not limited to having a particular size of hose in your system. Pros

This skimmer does tend to float around a bit so anchoring it to one place (like I would do with the smaller 25 version, away from your water plants) is what I would do. The integrated “green” as Oase calls it function, brings up debris from the bottom of the pond by swirling the water at 600L/hr. This causes the light organic matter to come up to the surface of the water where it’s pulled in by the skimmer in the usual way. Additionally, the debris still on the surface of the pond is captured. The Oase Built-in Surface Skimmer Biosys Skimmer + is designed for those who have larger ponds with up to 50m 2 of surface area but, more importantly, need a built-in skimmer. This means less maintenance because it is bigger and can hold more debris before needing to be emptied. This is not a floating skimmer like most of the other models in this review. This Oase Biosys skimmer sits in the soil, directly on the side of the pond. It’s known as a surface skimmer but will take more work to install and it ideally needs to be installed whilst you are building the pond.

Customer Reviews

The water pump isn’t included in this model. However, there’s space in the unit to put a pump in and to make it all self-contained, which is great if you’re building a pond in a more confined area. In terms of pumps, the AquaMax Eco 6,000L/h (minimum) to the AquaMax Eco 16,000L/h (maximum). Whatever pump you choose, just make sure that its flow rate fits into the 6000l/H and 16000l/h range for the best working of this skimmer. Pros The OASE AquaSkim 40 keeps the water surface of up to 40 m² clean and is an ideal addition to the AquaMax Eco Premium models 8000-16000 and Twin 20/30000. The skimmer basket has a diameter of 170 mm. It can be easily adapted to the pond depth thanks to the two-part telescopic tube, which is infinitely height-adjustable from 300 to 800 mm. The skimmer compensates for water level differences of up to 120 mm. The filter basket volume is 1.4 l. The skimmer lets through dirt particles up to 10 mm in size. Thanks to the 350 mm base, the AquaSkim 40 can be fixed to the pond floor with stones that are particularly stable. The small pipe diameter of 80 mm also ensures less air content and thus prevents the skimmer, which has a connection with a universal stepped hose nozzle from ¾ “to 1½”. Each SwimSkim 25 harvests floating debris from up to 25m2 of pond surface area. Built in aeration provides 300 litres of air per hour. Oase SwimSkim pond skimmer are highly beneficial for maintaining good water quality and promote the well-being of fish and wildlife. Multiple units can be installed around larger ponds to keep larger surfaces clear and aerated.

Oase skimmers powerfully and effectively remove leaves, pollen and other algae nutrients from the surface, collecting them in the basket. That way, dirt can be removed from the pond ecosystem before it starts to pollute it. The result is clearly improved water quality and viewing depth through direct removal of pollutants on the surface. Built-in pond skimmers are probably the best. Usually, they have a much bigger debris basket (usually at least 12 litres), however, they ideally need to be installed during the pond build itself. If you already have your pond, this is usually not an option or if you still decide to go down this route it will take a lot of modifications to install.The Swim Skim 25 has a handy integrated aeration function, which increases the amount of oxygen found in the water.
