Standard Black In-Wall Pond Skimmer SB264 – Liner / Concrete
Essential Surface Skimmer for Koi & Garden Ponds
 
The SB264 In-Wall Pond Skimmer is a core component of any well-designed pond filtration system and is especially important for koi ponds. Installed during the build stage, it continuously removes floating debris before it sinks, breaks down, and degrades water quality.
If you are building a koi pond, fitting a skimmer is not optional—it is best practice.
 
Why a Pond Skimmer Is Essential
