Floating Flow Control Weir Skimmer
This skimmer starts off with the sump filled with water and/or oil, which floats the weir to the closed position. As fluid is pumped from the skimmer sump, the buoyant flow control weir, automatically self adjusts (drops) — allowing an equal amount to flow across the weir and into the floating skimmer head. It’s so simple—yet VERY effective. It always skims—the surface, ALWAYS! Works with any pump that can pull suction.
The depth of the skimmer cut or surface skim, is controlled and set—by the volume pumped from the skimmer sump, allowing a surface skim from 1/8" to 2".
No manual adjustment needed—ever! The floating weir skimmer self adjusts instantly and automatically to pump flow rate and any wave action, maintaining constant skimming operations.
FLOATING WEIR SKIMMER — no training required! Bubba-proof!
(Sizes from 5-3,000 GPM) installation = simple—just attach a hose and put it in.
These are floating surface skimmers! The simplest design ever. This non-selective floating skimmer creates a depression in the water, that everything on the surface near it—runs into. They are very effective as long as you can handle the water that actually carries the oil to it. Used properly it can influence (skim) a large area—FAST. Work great with a vac-truck—makes it much more effective. With a control wand or by using guide ropes tied to the handles, you can move it in the water—right to the oil or floating stuff.
