The Signature Series 1000 Pond Skimmer can handle pump flow rates up to 10,000 gallons per hour and is equipped with an 8” wide weir. The innovative locking weir door allows the weir door to be temporarily closed and locked to drain the water in the skimmer for maintenance. A patented adjustable faceplate allows the faceplate to be re-adjusted after installation, altering the water level as desired. An included natural-looking faux rock lid helps to effectively conceal the filter while protecting the pump and internal components. Two bulkhead ports with injection-molded fittings allow the check valve to thread directly into the skimmer wall, providing a professional watertight seal along the back of the filter. Corrosion-resistant, non-cross-threading hardware stands up to the elements and the included overflow allows excess water to be properly re-directed.long the back of the filter.
