The Small Skimmer features a removable center divide with vertical filter pad that creates a pump compartment and a filtering compartment. The removable simulated stone lid gives you easy access to check on the pump and clean the filters when necessary. The Small Skimmer is 28" long x 18" wide x 20" tall, with an 8" wide water inlet. It skims ponds up to 600 square feet and handles up to 100 gpm (6000 gph). Optional components include a Bottom Drain Kit, 24" extension tube, water fill valve, replacement filters and replacement debris net. This skimmer is also available with filter brushes that reduce cleaning frequency and are less restrictive, making pumps less likely to run low on water. However, the vertical filter does do a better job removing debris from the water. See this Pond Kit Installation PDF for details on what is involved with installing a skimmer.
