AMAZING DIY POND SKIMMER IN ACTION

This is an DIY pond skimmer that's effective and efficient. I bought all the parts from Home Depot which cost around $15, the pump is separate of course. This skimmer is really effective at skimming the top water in your pond which will help to give your pond that Crystal clear water.

The best floating skimmer video I've seen so far because:
A) The parts are obtainable
B) The explanation exists
C) No irritating music
Thank you

I know this is a year old but I have to say thank you! I’ve watched a dozen of these tonight and yours was the first one that made sense! I am not dumb and I’m pretty damn handy so I was getting so frustrated with all the half assed explanations! I really appreciate you showing each piece in full and explaining how they worked. You rock!!! Thanks again!

[@chu0435]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it

[@antonio_alfa]

Exactly what I was looking for. The floating element is the piece that solved my problem!! Unfortunately I can not give you more that one LIKE, course I would.THANKS

[@chu0435]

Hahaha thanks

[@laraevery3959]

Very impressive , nice explanations....really easy to understand...so glad found you before I set up my pond for the first time. 😊

[@chu0435]

Thank you

[@chu0435]

I used the Aladin pool skimmer now, they are really good and cost around $70, I have a video about the too

[@boostjunkieMike]

Very good idea. Thanks for sharing 👌🏾😎👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@chu0435]

Your welcome 😃

[@YimmersKoiNReef]

Thanks bro! This helps a lot. Best DIY skimmer on YT!

[@chu0435]

Thanks!!

You need to show how it collects debris and how it is maintained (floating junk easily removed) to keep the pump from clogging.

[@lindadevuyst9311]

Fantastic idea...I cannot put in a store bought filter as my coping is all cemented in and there is no good place to break through ..this will work brilliantly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you kindly. My question is can I make the floatation slots bigger to catch bigger debris and leaves or will they float over the top and into the basket?

[@chu0435]

You welcome ☺️

[@Chaos_Feyre]

This is genius! Thank you for the very thorough explanation. I see you have no trees to worry about! But I wonder if you can design a skimmer cup that will catch leaves off the surface without catching fry? Thank you!!

[@ftswarbill]

Of course not because it's a complete piece of shit. That idiot has an outdoor aquarium, not a pond.

[@ecobbler2005]

Fantastic video what type and size pump

[@chu0435]

I forgot the name of the pump but is an energy efficient pump 100watts (4,500gal/hr)

[@kimuseni]

Great skimmer

[@chu0435]

Thank you 😀

[@jek539]

Why no demonstration of it in the water? That whole thing including pump goes in the water? What is the black pipe coming from pump? How are you power ing pump?

The black pvc pipe floats

[@chu0435]

Yes the top float, but I use a new skimmer now, search up Aladdin pool skimmer

[@kevintruc74nguyen3]

Where did you get think 4” pipe?

[@chu0435]

I use a new skimmer now and that is the Aladdin No-Niche Skimmer 750 that cost around $55 best pond skimmer!

[@vp5037]

What brand is the water pump ? And what kind? Please

[@chu0435]

I used 3 (CTP-16000) which is 4,200 gal/hr and consumed 140watts and 1 (CTP-12000) 3,200 gal/hr and consumed 100watts. They cost around $75 for each on Ebay, search ctp-16000

How deep is your pond from the top of water?
