Product Description
Skimmerfilter® Combines 4 Types of Filtration
Undoubtedly the hardest working gardening product in your pond, the Savio Skimmerfilter® dramatically reduces pond maintenance while blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Combining four types of filtration for superior pond water clarity - its all-in-one approach reduces plumbing and eliminates the need for extra plumbing and equipment. All four systems work in harmony, in one easy-to-install unit that saves you time and money.
UV Filtration - Savio Skimmerfilters® are the only skimmers on the market with a patented integrated UV system (optional equipment - sold separately) - a safe, chemical free way to eliminate green water.
 |
Savio's 2nd Generation UV Clarifier is the product of nearly 2 years of R&D. Introducing the latest breakthrough in clear water technology - UVinex™. Safe chemical free algae control in a sleek, new design exclusive to Savio. Coated bulb technology does away with fragile glass sleeves and is virtually maintenance free - simply wipe clean with a damp cloth to restore full effectiveness. |
Skimming Action - Pulls debris from the surface of the water, capturing it in a rigid leaf basket with a handle for clean, no mess disposal.
Biological Filtration - Filter media provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonize the skimmerfilter, converting biological waste from fish, ammonia and other toxins to inert forms for healthier ponds.
Mechanical Filtration - The skimmerfilter protects and extends the life of your pump, providing a place to conceal ugly equipment and plumbing. When used with a biological filtration system, the skimmer prefilters debris allowing your filter to work more efficiently.
The skimmerfilter’s super strong injection molded housing and cylindrical design resists warping and compaction in the ground, winning the approval of landscape and irrigation professionals everywhere. It's large enough to accommodate a large submersible pump or two medium size pumps. The Savio Skimmerfilter® works as a Complete Filtration Solution for ponds up to 1,000 gallons (or use with a Savio Livingponds Filter for larger water features and still enjoy the same clean, clear water).
Three faceplate assemblies are available to accommodate a variety of pump sizes..
