Product Description
Blue Thumb Elite Skimmer - 15-in.
Great for medium to large ponds and watergardens up to 10,000 gallons.
The Toughest, Strongest, Easiest to Install on the market today! The first line of defense against floating debris for any pond is the Pond Skimmer. If reducing maintenance and protecting the life of your pond pump are important to you, then investing in a Pond Skimmer is key. This skimmer box can be added to new or existing ponds.
The pond pump, which is located inside the skimmer, draws water into the skimmer opening mechanically filtering out leaves, twigs and other floating garden pond debris trapping the debris inside a net and filter pad.
