No Niche Skimmer 2″ Pond Skimmer

Product details

No Niche Skimmer 2" Pond Skimmer is a protein skimmer-style surface skimmer designed to retrofit into an existing pond setup. It helps remove floating debris (such as leaves) from the water’s surface using the suction side of a pump. By skimming 360 degrees around and using a float weir, it maintains operation across normal pond water level changes, making it practical for ponds with varying conditions like filter back-flushes, water changes, and splashing from waterfalls.

Features:

• Retrofits into an existing pond to pull floating leaves and surface debris toward the skimmer for removal
• Operates using water suction from the intake side of a pump (not a standalone unit)
• Float ring weir provides up to 5-1/2" of vertical travel to accommodate water level changes
• Includes a larger basket strainer for increased debris collection capacity
• Skims 360 degrees around for broad surface coverage
• Bottom outlet includes a 2" NPT female thread for suction-line hook up
• Built for easy maintenance with strong ABS Cycolac construction and an easy-to-clean design

Specifications:

• Minimum pump flow rate: 800 GPH
• Port requirement: Requires a 2" minimum side wall or floor port to tap into the pump’s suction side
• Connection: 2" NPT female thread at the bottom of the skimmer for suction line hookup
• Float weir vertical travel: Up to 5-1/2"
• Material: ABS Cycolac
• Liner compatibility: Rigid or flexible liner can be retrofitted by adding a bulkhead fitting to the wall or floor for proper positioning
• Suction requirement: Requires suction from the intake side of a pump to operate
