POND SKIMMER IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

What Kind of Pond Skimmer Do I Have?

A pond skimmer is one of the most important tools you can use in your pond. Much like a swimming pool skimmer, these devices pull debris from the surface of the water, keeping pond maintenance to a minimum. Skimmers also provide a safe and easy-to-access home for your pump.

If you purchased a house with a pre-existing pond, you might not know the exact model of the installed skimmer. That’s usually not an issue – until you have to buy replacement parts.

Below are some of the most common Aquascape-brand pond skimmers that we encounter and install (or used to install). If Splash or another Aquascape-certified contractor installed your pond, the skimmer is very likely one of the models listed here.

Skimmer ID Tips

If Splash installed your pond within the past several years, you probably have one of the newer models listed here. (The older models have largely been discontinued, but you can still purchase replacement parts).
Look at the size of your pond. Smaller ponds will usually have smaller skimmers. We install the Signature Series 200 skimmer in our smallest ponds (The Lilypad), the Signature Series 400 in medium ponds (The Lotus) and the Signature Series 1000 in large ponds (The Oasis).
Most skimmers have distinct debris baskets/nets. Compare your basket to the ones in the photos to find a match.
Replacement parts aren’t always interchangeable between models. Make sure that any parts you purchase are made to fit your specific skimmer.
