Oase Swim Skim Skimmer 25

Product Information

Filtration is carried out through a (replaceable) bio-mechanical foam with a fine mesh. The real issue with this model is the small size of the collection basket at 0.9 litres. This means you might frequently need to clean all the collected debris basket off every couple of days, especially large leaves in the autumn. This is where I would recommend the larger Oase 50 SwimSkim because it has the larger 4.5 litre basket.

Each SwimSkim 25 harvests floating debris from up to 25m2 of pond surface area. Built in aeration provides 300 litres of air per hour. Oase SwimSkim pond skimmer are highly beneficial for maintaining good water quality and promote the well-being of fish and wildlife. Multiple units can be installed around larger ponds to keep larger surfaces clear and aerated.These organic materials decay over time as they sink to the bottom of the pond. Decaying matter produces ammonia which harms the health of your pond’s ecosystem. The integrated “green” as Oase calls it function, brings up debris from the bottom of the pond by swirling the water at 600L/hr. This causes the light organic matter to come up to the surface of the water where it’s pulled in by the skimmer in the usual way. Additionally, the debris still on the surface of the pond is captured. Yes, pond skimmers need a pump to draw the water into them and to push it away after it’s cleaned. Self-contained skimmers come with the pump already built into them. Others require a separate pump.

Whichever option you choose, pay close attention to the flow rate of the pump that the manufacturer recommends. If the flow rate of your pump is not fast enough (it’s the L/hr number associated with the pump), the skimmer won’t work efficiently. The skimmer’s collection basket This rectangular pond skimmer is suitable for ponds with volumes between 1900L and 3800L. The filtration system is mechanical through a (replaceable) filter pad. The collection basket is large enough to collect a decent amount of debris, including leaves.

Though Novuna is unable to provide you with a main reason for declining your application, it is usually based on one, or a combination of the following: Pond skimmers need a pump to bring the water into their filtration system and then to return the clean water to the pond. A water pump does this task. Some pond skimmers come with a built-in pump and others need to be placed in line with your existing water pump.This Buyer’s Guide explains why you need a pond skimmer for your outdoor oasis. Plus it details the main features to look out for when choosing the best pond skimmer for your garden environment. Why do I need a pond skimmer? The Oase Swimskim 25 has its own built in pump which causes a suction so that fallen leaves and pond debris are drawn towards its collection basket, the collection chamber can then easily be removed by hand, and the user can discard with its unwanted contents. By removing leaves and other undesirable pollutants, not only will the pond look cleaner, it should also aid the water quality. Stationary models include the stand-up model that you weigh down to the bottom of the pond. Plus there’s the Oase model that you bury outside the pond with its lid just above the water line.

Due to the swim skim being a self floating device, it will conveniently adapt to any changes in pond depth. That’s what I like about the floating pond skimmers. They are super easy to add to an existing pond. They’re great for preformed ponds and liner ponds, basically, where cutting a hole for a built-in skimmer box is not an option. I also like that you can easily remove or reposition them, something you will likely find yourself doing. For me, I really feel that most people would be happy with either this Oase Swim Skim Skimmer 25 or the larger Oase 50170 SwimSkim 50. The water pump isn’t included in this model. However, there’s space in the unit to put a pump in and to make it all self-contained, which is great if you’re building a pond in a more confined area. In terms of pumps, the AquaMax Eco 6,000L/h (minimum) to the AquaMax Eco 16,000L/h (maximum). Whatever pump you choose, just make sure that its flow rate fits into the 6000l/H and 16000l/h range for the best working of this skimmer. Pros Trapping the organic materials before they decay is one way to reduce the production of ammonia in the water. This is what pond skimmers do.
