Atlantic Skimmer REPLACEMENT Brush Kit
Superior Mechanical Filtration for Atlantic Skimmers
Atlantic Skimmer Brush Kits provide exceptional debris removal and mechanical filtration for pond skimmers, offering a superior alternative to traditional dense filter pads. Unlike filter pads that can block water flow when neglected or heavily loaded with debris, brush kits maintain consistent flow even when capturing substantial amounts of leaves, twigs, and organic matter.
Constructed from durable stainless steel and polypropylene, these brush panels deliver maximum longevity in continuous outdoor use. The innovative brush design traps debris while allowing water to pass freely, protecting your pump from starvation and maintaining optimal skimmer performance even between cleanings. Atlantic skimmers can accept an additional brush panel to increase mechanical filtration capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know which brush kit I need?
A: Match the brush kit to your Atlantic skimmer model. Use SKU 74019 for PS4600/PS4900, SKU 74020 for PS7000/PS9500, or SKU 74018 for PS15000.
Q: What's the advantage of brushes over filter pads?
A: Brush kits maintain water flow even when loaded with debris, preventing pump starvation. Dense filter pads can block flow when saturated, potentially damaging your pump. Brushes capture debris while allowing water to pass freely.
Q: Can I use both brushes and filter pads in my skimmer?
A: Yes. Many pond owners use brush kits for primary mechanical filtration and add filter pads for finer particle removal. The brushes capture larger debris while the pads polish the water.
Q: How often do I need to clean the brush kit?
A: Inspect weekly during heavy leaf fall and monthly during other seasons. The brushes are easy to remove and rinse clean. The flow-through design means the skimmer continues functioning even if cleaning is delayed.
Q: Can I add a second brush panel to my skimmer?
A: Yes. Atlantic skimmers can accept an additional brush panel to increase mechanical filtration capacity, doubling the debris capture area and extending time between cleanings.
Q: How long do brush kits last?
A: With proper maintenance, brush kits last multiple seasons. The stainless steel and polypropylene construction resists UV degradation and continuous water contact. Replace when bristles show significant wear.
Q: Are these replacement kits or do they come with new skimmers?
A: These are replacement brush kits for existing Atlantic skimmers. New skimmers typically include brush kits, but these replacements are available when the original brushes wear out or if you want to add an additional panel.
Q: How do I install the brush kit?
A: Remove the skimmer lid, slide out the old brush panel, and slide in the new brush kit. The panels fit securely in the skimmer's brush slots. Consult your skimmer manual for specific instructions.
