- Jay takes you through the complete step by step on how a professional installs the Aquascape 1000 pond skimmer. The skimmer is probably the most important component that you want to make sure is done right the first time because it is the only time you will need to make cut through the liner. If you have any questions please make sure to comment so we can answer.
Thank you for this great, detailed video. It answered some questions we had that even the manual didn't. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
This has to be the best video have seen how to do a skimmer great job man
Excellent video, shows everything you need to know about installation
Awesome video
Very helpful. Thanks
Can you put the skimmer on top of the epdm liner versus cutting it.
great video , could you please tell me where does the auto value filler goes?
Hi, we usually drill a 3/4” hole about 2.5” about water level and use the aquascape auto fill. You can then adjust the float to the desired water level. I hope this helps
Hello
What is the depth to bury the skimmer
Could you please explain why you closed the overflow port?
Is that something you do on all of your installations? Or what is your criteria for making that determination?
In this case there was nowhere to run the overflow to. The area was surrounded by sidewalk and the yard on the other side was flat so there was nowhere to to run the overflow pipe to thematic it could drain. In projects where the yard slopes we always use the overflow
@@oklahomaponds7718 thank you for the quick response.
The video is informative and is a good guide. Appreciate you putting these videos out there to learn from.
Our current skimmer is leaking and we are in the process of putting in the aquascapes 1000.

What if u don't have a line lazer
I've been building garden ponds since 1986, having well over 1,000 under my belt. That clarified, I have never needed a skimmer because they're overpriced junk, along with every other filter Aquascapes sells. This is evidenced by the number one selling swimming pool accessory-- a net! That's how well even the typical, high grade swimming pool skimmer works-they don't. Additionally, I challenge anyone to visit the last page or two of any pond supply company and what will you find--all the chemicals required to keep your pond clean. Given the grand you just spent on filters, you shouldn't need chemicals. Shoot you should be able to drink that water! Save your money folks!
Where is your ponds Mr expert lets see em updated video of them not when you built them
@@TheScrubDesigns Oh sure. Here's one. If you want to build a good pond you need to make it a self sustainable, microecosystem. It's not a bathtub so start at a zero depth, tapering it to the deep end holding the pump. All you need is a high volume pump and a water tube. Remember to build it so that it is easily serviceable down the road. I mean don't bury the damn water tube--hide it in the rocks so it's accessible, if need be. I can also tell Aquascape is designed by engineers and not actual pond builders because the absolute last thing you want to do is cut a hole in the rubber. It's just plain stupid. Additionally, Aquascape are just one standardized design of various sizes. Myself, I have never built any two ponds the same because no two customers or settings are the same. A little practice and creativity and you'll be glad to be free of "Aquashit!"
