At Tony’s Bio Ponds, we recognise the significance of preserving excellent water quality in natural swimming ponds, koi ponds, and ornamental water features, and one highly effective tool for achieving this is the Floating Pond Skimmer.
What is a Floating Pond Skimmer?
A floating pond skimmer is a surface-cleaning device designed to remove floating debris, such as leaves, pollen, twigs, and other organic matter, before it sinks to the bottom and decays. Unlike fixed skimmers, floating models move with the water level, ensuring consistent surface skimming regardless of pond depth or rainfall.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Surface-Level Cleaning
Floating pond skimmers operate right at the water surface, where most contaminants collect. This helps prevent organic buildup, reducing the load on biological filtration systems.
2. Self-Adjusting to Water Levels
One major advantage is that they float and adapt to fluctuating water levels, making them ideal for natural swimming ponds and bio ponds where levels vary due to rain or evaporation.
3. Energy Efficient
Most floating skimmers come with low-wattage submersible pumps or work with existing circulation systems. They efficiently skim the surface using minimal energy.
4. Easy to Maintain
The debris baskets or filters can be easily accessed and cleaned. Some models even have fine mesh filters to trap smaller particles like dust and pollen.
5. Eco-Friendly Choice
Floating pond skimmers support the natural balance of the pond ecosystem by preventing nutrient overload, which can lead to algae blooms and murky water.
Applications of Floating Pond Skimmers
- Natural Swimming Ponds
- Koi Fish Ponds
- Water Gardens
