Assembly and Installation
Mark Water Level
Fill the pond with water and mark position of water
level on the liner at the High Flow Skimmer location.
Partially drain pond 8"-10" inches before proceeding.
Dig Neck Channel (A)
Dig a channel 6¾ inches below the water line (see diagram A), and 15 inches wide (see diagram B), to rest the neck of the High Flow
Skimmer™. Compact and level the bottom of excavation. Do not dig too deep or the soil may settle unevenly.

Placement
A) Place the High Flow Skimmer opposite of the
waterfall or water return in an easily accessible
location.
B) Avoid placing rocks or plants in front of the
High Flow Skimmer. Anything placed in front will
interfere with the water flow and skimming action.
C) Waterfalls generally face the viewing area. Place
the High Flow Skimmer so it faces the waterfall.
This hides the High Flow Skimmer from view and
allows for easy access.
D) Positioning the High Flow Skimmer on the
downwind side of the pond will aid in the effective
collection of floating debris. This is less important
than placing the High Flow Skimmer opposite the
waterfall but it is a significant design consideration.
Dig High Flow Skimmer Hole
5 inches back from the coping shelf, dig a round hole
measuring 22 inches across, with a depth of 14" be-
low the marked water line.
Dig the front of the hole 1/4 inches deeper than the
back to compensate for settling.
Dig Neck Channel (B)
