Aquascape Signature Series Pond Skimmer Filter, 1000, Black | 43022

The skimmer arrived in great condition. It is very sturdy a bit on the heavy side. The lid has a rock like appearance, which will look great when we place it around the pond. Overall, we are very satisfied with this purchase.

For years my pond pump was on the bottom of the pond. I struggled with clarity because it was sucking all of gunk off the bottom and just mixing it up. Within one day of installation (by me) the water was CRYSTAL clear. I should have put this skimmer in years ago. I’ve never been happier with my pond and the ease of maintaining. Cleaning my bio falls used to be a nightmare. Now it’s once a month and I clean the skimmer basket weekly because I have a tree over the pond. Compared to the literal thousands I spent in band aids for water clarity this is WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

Love the adjustible door with dogs in and out i loose water and dont always feel like dragging hose out..no instructions to put it together thou..i had to stare at it for awhile🤔also the tools to hold door in place realy helped a few dimention for height on thier site would help

It's a great skilmmer. But for this price, you'd think they would include a 2" barbed hose fitting, particularly since the matching BioFalls unit includes a 2" hose fitting, and that ponds systems are pretty commonly built using PVC hose, not pipe. You would be wrong. Only a pipe fitting. And while you can find barbed hose fittings in practically any hardware store, you apparently cannot find a 2" barbed hose fitting anywhere in Delaware. So this caused a totally preventable 2-day delay while I wait for the proper fitting to be shipped. At this price, Aquascape could at least be consistent, product kit to product kit.

I ordered this to replace an older Aquascape skimmer box, which had 2 side openings for the pump connection and a back opening for the overflow connection. The photo on the company website plus the product manual both show a back opening but that was not the case when our contractor went to install it! He had to reroute the existing plumbing and it was a mess and more costly for the installation! And I also paid for the "overflow" connection kit ($50) which was not suitable for the side hole the installer had to use.

This skimmer is so nice, easy to install, and easy to clean out! I installed this skimmer when I replaced my pond liner after 25 years. I liked it so much, I ordered a second one for my other pond which is 16 years old. I had to retrofit it a bit to the old liner (the old skimmer was wider), but it worked out great! Highly recommend. I wish is was a little less expensive.

This is an excellent product that should work perfectly for what I need. This is a high quality unit with some excellent features. The pull out filter basket will work well as a pre-screen for larger debri. The smaller filter above the pump will help reduce the amount of material getting into my filter system.

I've only had my pond in for about six weeks, but so far so good. My only dislike is how big the gaps are in the basket. It doesn't catch small stuff. I might end up adding some screen around the basket in the future.

I have a small back yard pond that is about 4' x 8' and have lots of vegetation and trees that deposit their debris into the pond and would float around and I would always have to scoop it up, this solves that problem!!! Now the skimmer picks all of that up and keeps my pond clean!It was very easy to install, and came with everything that you need to install it, except for some hand tools. You will need a shovel, utility knife, and a large screwdriver. I had it installed within a couple of hours.

Exactly as described! Very happy! TY

Look excellent haven’t set up yet

Works well, so far so good.

Just received. Shows pump in the description, does not mention it doesn’t have one. Pretty expensive for a plastic bucket. Now have to figure out which pump fits it
