Pro Installation Tip:

One of your best BMP's (Best Maintenance Practice), which should be checked weekly, is to buy a rope and tie it to the frame of your skimmers, with the other end tied to a T-post on land near your outflow area. Then you can pull your Skimmer ashore to clean any debris that may collect around your water intake vents and release it back into your basin, clear for water flow.
