How It Works

The HighFlow Compact Skimmer sits at the edge of your pond, drawing water from the surface where most debris accumulates. The high-flow design handles greater water volumes than standard compact skimmers, making it ideal for ponds requiring enhanced circulation. The debris basket captures larger materials while the filter mat provides fine mechanical filtration. Your pump sits safely inside the skimmer, protected from debris and always submerged for optimal performance.

Ideal Applications

Perfect for medium to large ponds where space is limited but high flow capacity is needed, koi ponds requiring robust filtration, water gardens with heavy debris loads, and any pond system where you need professional-grade skimming in a compact footprint. The HighFlow design bridges the gap between standard compact skimmers and full-size models.
