Signature Series Skimmer Overview

June

PondMeister

Dave Kelly, the Aquascape Tech Guy, gives a nice discussion and overview  about mechanical filtration and skimmers focusing on the Signature Series Skimmer from Aquascape.

Skimmers do the MECHANICAL filtration which means that it removes the pieces from the water by having a pump in the bottom of the Skimmer that pulls the water first through a Debris net which catches the big pieces and then a Filter Mat which catches the smaller matter.

The water is then pumped to a BioFalls which does the BIOLOGICAL filtration which will hopefully be covered in a future video. 

Dave does not mention here that one of the advantages to the Signature Series Skimmer is that it has an adjustabl;e Faceplate. In the perfect world, the box should be set so that the water level is 3/4″ below the top of the rectangular opening. This has always been difficult for the Installers to hit this level. This Skimmer has an easily adjustable faceplate that can be adjusted to the water level.
