Know before you buy
This product is the faceplate specifically designed for the Savio Standard Skimmer. It is intended as a replacement or component for the existing skimmer housing.
The Savio Standard Skimmer is designed to house most submersible pond pumps. However, you should verify that your pump's dimensions fit within the integrated housing to ensure proper flow and protection.
Cleaning frequency depends on your pond's surroundings and debris load. We recommend checking the basket weekly during peak seasons and rinsing the filter mat whenever you notice a decrease in water flow.
No, the skimmer unit is designed for external installation at the pond's edge. It must be excavated and leveled into the bank, while the pump housed inside remains submerged in the water.
Yes, the Savio Standard Skimmer is engineered to be compatible with Savio UVinex systems. You can easily integrate the UV clarifier into the unit to help control algae and improve water clarity.
