Leaves, pollen and debris floating on the surface of your pond are more than just unsightly: when they sink to the bottom, they decompose and feed the algae responsible for green water. The OASE 250 Eco continuously skims the water surface before this waste has time to sink, keeping the pond visually clean and reducing the load on the upstream filtration system.
How does the Skimmer 250 Eco work?
With its integrated pump and wide 520 mm suction opening, the skimmer continuously captures everything floating on the surface: leaves, pollen, insects and foam. The debris is trapped in a large 27 L stainless steel collection basket that is easy to empty and particularly durable. The float automatically adjusts to changes in the water level (rainfall, evaporation), ensuring constant skimming even when the pond level fluctuates.
Why choose this skimmer over a basic model?
- Wide suction opening and high suction power for premium skimming performance
- Premium construction with stainless steel components for exceptional durability
- Large-capacity collection basket (27 L): less emptying, greater autonomy
- Mounting hardware included: easy installation straight out of the box
Which pond is it suitable for?
The Skimmer 250 Eco is designed for ponds with a surface area of up to 250 m², with a maximum flow rate of 15,000 L/h (250 L/min). Minimum required water depth: 0.65 m. The G2 (2-inch) return-side connection makes it compatible with most existing filtration systems of this diameter. A 20 m power cable is included for installation away from the electrical outlet.
For enthusiasts with a large koi pond and loyal OASE customers looking for a reliable replacement, this OASE Pro skimmer offers the robustness and flow rate required for a sizeable pond.
Installation
Position the skimmer at the edge of the pond, on the side facing the prevailing winds, to capture as much surface debris as possible. Check that the water depth at the chosen location is at least 0.65 m. Connect it to the return pipe (G2) and then to your existing filtration system.
