Atlantic Water Gardens Pond Skimmers

The PS4500 acts as the first stage of your pond's filtration system. It collects surface debris like leaves and twigs in a basket and filter mat before the water reaches your pump, preventing clogs and keeping the pond cleaner.

The PS4500 is designed to handle flow rates between 2,000 and 4,500 gallons per hour. As long as your pump falls within this range, it will be compatible with the unit's plumbing capacity.

One of the main benefits of the PS4500 is its flexible plumbing location. You have the freedom to choose the best entry point for your specific pond layout, making installation much easier in tight or irregular spaces.

The integrated auto-fill feature allows you to connect a water line directly to the skimmer. It automatically adds water to the pond as needed to compensate for evaporation, ensuring your pump always stays submerged and protected.

The PS4500 is specifically engineered to work in tandem with Atlantic's BF1250 or BF1500 FilterFalls units. Using these together creates a balanced system that provides both mechanical surface skimming and biological filtration.

Maintenance frequency depends on the amount of debris in your pond and the surrounding landscape. Generally, you should check the basket and mat weekly during peak seasons to ensure water flow remains unobstructed.
