EZ-SKiM – 110mm Gravity-Fed Surface Skimmer for Block Built Koi Ponds
Designed for precision. Built for performance.
EZ-SKiM is a high-efficiency 110mm gravity-fed surface skimmer engineered specifically for block built koi ponds. It continuously removes floating debris, surface oils and organic waste before they sink, improving water clarity and reducing load on your drum filter and biological filtration system.
Built from Lloyds-approved GRP and designed for high-flow filtration systems, EZ-SKiM delivers powerful surface draw with smooth, low-turbulence operation that is safe for koi.
Why Proper Surface Skimming Matters
In any koi pond, surface waste forms a film layer that:
- Reduces oxygen exchange
- Increases organic loading
- Impacts water clarity
- Places unnecessary strain on drum filters and pumps
A correctly sized gravity-fed pond skimmer removes this waste at source, improving overall system efficiency and maintaining a cleaner, healthier pond environment.
Key Features & Performance Benefits
Wide-Mouth Dual-Zone Inlet (420mm x 200mm)
Maximises surface capture area for improved debris removal across larger pond surfaces.
110mm Gravity-Fed Connection
Direct integration into standard 110mm pipework used in gravity-fed drum filter systems.
High-Flow Operating Range
Designed for filtration systems operating between 8,000–20,000 litres per hour.
Low-Turbulence Operation
Smooth, controlled surface draw that avoids excessive disturbance to koi.
Water Level Adaptability (Up to 120mm)
Maintains effective skimming performance even with seasonal or operational water level variation.
Lloyds-Approved GRP Construction
Heavy-duty, long-life build quality suitable for permanent block built pond installations.
Designed for Block Built Koi Ponds
EZ-SKiM is purpose-built to integrate cleanly into two standard concrete blocks within the pond wall, making it ideal for:
- New pond construction
- Professional koi pond builds
- High-flow filtration installations
- Drum filter systems
- Premium and performance-focused projects
The 110mm outlet allows unrestricted gravity flow into settlement chambers, drum filters or mechanical pre-filtration systems when installed correctly.
Compatibility
Suitable for:
- Block built koi ponds
- 110mm gravity-fed filtration systems
- High-flow drum filter installations
- Professional pond construction projects
- Serious hobbyist and premium builds

Frequently Asked Questions
What size pond is EZ-SKiM suitable for?
Suitability is based on system flow rather than pond volume. It is designed for gravity-fed filtration systems operating between 8,000–20,000 litres per hour.
Is this suitable for liner ponds?
EZ-SKiM is designed primarily for block built pond construction. Installation into liner systems would require appropriate structural support and sealing.
Does it work with drum filters?
Yes. The 110mm gravity outlet is compatible with standard drum filter and mechanical filtration setups.
Will it handle fluctuating water levels?
Yes. It is designed to accommodate water level variation of up to 120mm while maintaining effective surface skimming.
