Know before you buy
The two-chamber system separates your pump from the filtration media. This allows you to access or remove the pump for maintenance without having to disturb the filter brushes or mats, keeping your cleaning process much cleaner and faster.
Filter brushes are generally better for ponds with heavy debris loads, as they are easier to rinse and less prone to clogging. The vertical filter mat provides finer mechanical filtration, which is ideal if you want to capture smaller particles for clearer water.
The unit features a built-in rock stacking flange. You can place rocks directly onto this flange to blend the skimmer into your pond's edge, effectively concealing the plastic housing while maintaining easy access to the interior.
Yes, the PS1FB is rated for a maximum flow rate of 6,000 GPH. Ensure your pump does not exceed this capacity to prevent water from bypassing the filtration system or overflowing the skimmer box.
The frequency depends on your pond's surroundings and the amount of organic matter, such as leaves or grass clippings, that enters the water. We recommend checking the one-piece debris net weekly during peak seasons to ensure optimal water flow.
