Product Details

The SwimSkim surface skimmer will do the hard work for you! It offers strong suction, does not require a separate pump and is ideal for retrofitting. Its powerful suction cleans a pond surface (coverage up to 270 square ft.). The SwimSkim floats along the surface of your pond, removing large debris. It is easy to use - just plug it in and drop it in your pond. It automatically adapts to any water level (from a 16 inch water depth). The integrated aerator oxygenates your pond. Because the SwimSkim does not require a separate pump, it's compact design makes it ideal for retrofitting and allows for flexibility when water level fluctuates. While pond inhabitants do pollute the water, the environment surrounding the pond is also a major contributor. The aesthetic value of a pond is sometimes hampered by debris - pollutants can float on the surface and cloud your view. The SwimSkim rids your pond of pollen, leaves, debris, particles and dust, which are also a major burden to a pond's ecosystem. The SwimSkim surface skimmer is designed to float around and draw debris from the surface of the water for a prettier view and a healthier pond.
  • The easy-to-use SwimSkim is a powerful surface skimmer that floats along the surface of ponds up to 270 ft2 removing debris.
  • The compact SwimSkim easily integrates into an existing pond, automatically adapting to any water level (from 16 in. water depth).
  • The accumulated debris can be easily removed using the leaf basket.
  • Integrated aerator oxygenates your pond while skimming the surface.
  • The unique skimmer flap, directed to the inside, generates powerful suction and sucks up leaves and other surface debris.

    Q:Can this be used in a koi pond? Is there a mechanism to keep this in one corner of the pond?
    by|Apr 28, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello! Yes, the Swimskim can be used in a Koi pond, but (depending on the size of your pond and fish load) usually it would be used in conjunction with additional Filtration. The SwimSkim is designed to operate in different parts of the pond (thereby achieving maximum efficiency) and therefore should not be tethered to one spot. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Peter, Technical Support Specialist, Atlantic-OASE. Tel; 330-274-8317, extn: 172.

      Q:How fine is the filter? Will it trap watermeal (wolffia)?
      by|Jul 23, 2022
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello Frank. We thank you for your inquiry. The filter foam would clog very fast with the watermeal which will require more maintenance. We hope this helps. Your OASE Water Gardening Specialist, Mary

          Response from OASE TeamJan 26, 2022
          Hello Shaz. We are sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. In order for it to work properly it would need enough water surface area to create a surface current to pull surface debris towards it. We ask that you call in so we can assist you and make sure it's installed properly. Please contact our Customer Care Team at 1-866-627-3435, Monday – Friday, between 8 AM to 5 PM ET.

          The pond skimmer works well. We have an oak tree over our pond and it gets the leaves very quickly before they can sink to the bottom.

          The only things that would this so much better is a second tether to keep it in the middle of my pond and a built in UV sterilizer to clear the algae out of the water and another filter pad. Otherwise works well! 800 GPH is powerful and sweeps debris off the surface quickly!
