Clean Your Pond Skimmer! | Water Feature Maintenance Series #2

Your skimmer is the first line of defense for a clean water feature, but cleaning it incorrectly can actually hurt your ecosystem. In this episode of the Water Feature Maintenance Series, we walk you through exactly how to clean a pond skimmer without destroying the delicate biological balance. We show you the simple, essential steps to remove debris, safely check for wildlife, and keep your water crystal clear year-round. We dive into the specific details of Aquascape skimmer maintenance, demonstrating the proper technique for cleaning pond filter pads—specifically why you should never use chlorinated city water or pressure washers that kill beneficial biology. You will learn the importance of adding beneficial bacteria to pond filtration immediately after cleaning to re-seed the system and maintain water clarity. We also share a critical safety warning about pond pump safety and the impeller to ensure you keep your fingers safe while maintaining your mechanical filtration components. What You’ll Learn: You will learn the step-by-step process for servicing a pond skimmer, including the "bang on a rock" cleaning method for filter mats to preserve biology. We explain why chlorine is dangerous for your filter's ecosystem and the correct timing for adding beneficial bacteria to keep your pond healthy and balanced. 🌊 Have a unique project or need a custom water feature?
