Surface skimming decorative ponds with the Dragonfly Super Skimmer
Surface skimming decorative ponds.
The Dragonfly Super Skimmer as well as being a superb swimming pool cleaner is also a great for skimming decorative ponds.
Fixed skimmers in these situations rarely cope with the situation satisfactorily
as they depend on the water levels to be just right otherwise they do a poor job of removing leaves and debris from the surface of the water leading to a mess collecting on the bottom of the pond in a very short time.
The Dragonfly Super Skimmer on the other hand is made for skimming decorative ponds and will remove nearly 100% of dust and leaves from the surface of these ponds before they
sink, it is best to set up using a timed filtration system.
Skimming decorative ponds on a regular basis leads to a situation where
the water remains aesthetically pleasing for most of the time and
the clarity of the water is improved and for much longer. For situations where large amounts of leaves and debris fall on the pond a large in-line leaf collecting canister may be installed so that leaves can be conveniently removed from time to time. On the other hand if the only contaminants that land on the pond tends to be dusty materials, industrial fall-out, etc you may be better off using the Dragonfly Micro
Oil Skimmer as this requires a smaller filter pump. Naturally,
the staff at dragonfly.biz will assist you in working out the best solution in your particular situation.
To skim decorative ponds that are very shallow, Dragonfly can make modifications to suit most situations
