This Pond Skimmer Attachment is a great accessory for pumps with two inlets
The Pump Buddy Skimmer Attachment is designed to be attached to a pond pump - the combined unit then sucks in debris from the surface of your pond with the waste collecting in an easy-empty collection basket.
This Pond Skimmer cleans the water surface of leaves, twigs, dust and other dirt.
The water surface is one of the most important parameters for a biologically well-functioning pond because it is here the gas exchange between water and air takes place.
The Pump Buddy Pond Skimmer is designed so the top rim of the skimmer sits on the waters surface.
From here the debris can be drawn into the small top basket and can then be removed from the pond with ease.
The height of the skimmer can be easily adjusted to suit the height of most ponds The base has a small tray that can be filled and weighed down with pebbles to prevent the skimmer floating too far up or being knocked over.
A hosetail sits on the base and when this is connected to a pump (not supplied) the action draws any waste and debris towards the skimmer.
