Your cart is empty.--Rugged Construction-- The Helix Skimmer features strong and extremely durable construction. Made in the USA from heavy-duty Rotational Molded HDPE, it holds up better than most other skimmers, especially in regions with compacted soil and heavy freeze-thaw cycles where weaker skimmers can easily be crushed. --Compact Profile-- The Helix Pond Skimmer is tall but not wide, giving it a very low profile around the pond and making it easier to hide with rocks around the edge of the pond. The Helix Skimmer also has an optimum fill height that is just 2 inches from the top of the skimmer, allowing you to have a clean pond edge and a fuller-looking pond. Since it doesn't require a lid, it can also be easily covered with a large stone or faux stone. --Effective Operation-- The Helix Pond Skimmer has a round strainer basket that is modeled after swimming pool skimmer baskets. This time-tested, familiar technology creates a helical (spiral-shaped) flow that effectively traps debris. The rigid basket is tight-fitting, so that debris cannot bypass the basket. The basket is 8 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall, but the helical flow compresses debris into the basket, giving it higher capacity. The weir opening of the skimmer is 15 inches, allowing for flow rates from 1500-8000gph. --Fish-Friendly Design-- Most skimmers have a weir door at the entrance to the skimmer chamber. Once they slip past this skimmer door, fish can become trapped inside. The Helix Pond Skimmer does not have a weir door, making it safer for fish. The floating weir inside the leaf basket sits right at the top of the water level, helping prevent fish from getting inside. --Versatile Options-- The Helix Pond Skimmer is 35 inches Tall x 19 inches Wide x 18 inches Long. Its large, flat side panels can easily support an auto-fill valve without it becoming encumbered with debris.

I hesitated to get that product because of the cost but it's well worth it. It's made of heavy material and in my case, with all the leaves falling in my pond it works really well. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

This thing is freakin awesome! You already know that if you watch, 'the pond digger' on YouTube. The price seems high till you see it in person. I cannot wait till spring! I ordered the pump already. Everything you could want for a pond filtration system is available through the 'helix life support system' store. Honestly I can't afford any more pond supplies right now, but this skimmer has been a must-have item since last spring. I finally got one!

Super solid construction. Better than the other skimmers I've seen out there.No moving parts or hinges, no doors to break, no netting needed.Super slim profile feels less obtrusive to the pond's edge. Much less noticeable. Mine sits so low and close to the waterline that it's almost invisible. Because of it's helix weir design, it doesn't need such a huge hole cut into the liner.It has never trapped a single fish in the three years I've had it installed.I have a very heavy tree cover over my pond so I've installed their optional extra-deep filter basket which performs very well. The basket design can hold SO much debris crammed into the basket while still letting the water flow. It really is a great, efficient design. Worth the money.
