About Helix Pond Skimmer, Check Valve & 3200gph Helix

The Pond Trade magazine 2012 Product of the Year, the Helix Pond Skimmer is rugged, compact, effective, fish-friendly and versatile. Rugged Construction The Helix Pond Skimmer is made in the USA from heavy-duty Rotational Molded HDPE, making it extremely durable, even in regions with compacted soils or heavy freeze-thaw cycles that frequently crush other skimmer bodies. Compact Profile The Helix Pond Skimmer is tall but not wide, measuring just 19"W x 18"D x 35"H, giving it a very low profile around the pond and making it easier to hide with rocks or a cover. The Helix skimmer also has an optimum fill height that is just 2" from the top of the skimmer, allowing you to have a clean pond edge and a fuller-looking pond. 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 measures 8" in diameter x 8" tall, but the helical flow compresses debris into the basket, giving it a higher effective capacity. Fish-Friendly Design The Helix Pond Skimmer does not have a weir door at the entrance, like many skimmers do. These weir doors can cause fish to become trapped inside the skimmer. By avoiding this common feature, the Helix Pond Skimmer is safer for fish. The floating weir inside the leaf basket sits right at the top of the water level, reducing the chance that fish will swim inside. Versatile Options The Helix Pond Skimmer features large, flat side panels that can support an autofill valve and/or an overflow pipe (not included). This skimmer package includes a 3200gph Helix Submersible HLSP3200 pump and a Helix Quick Release Discharge Kit (Check Valve Assembly) for easy pump removal during maintenance and winterization.
