Look at this photo on the right of a newly constructed Water Garden Pond featuring a Pelican HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer installed 12 feet away from the pond.
The skimmer was installed near the home's power source and roof gutter drain. This made for easy connection of the pumps to the electrical power source and the pond's overflow line to the roof drain.

The pond was the first step in the landscaping process of this new home. With the Pelican HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer placed an incredible 12 feet away from the pond's edge with heavy duty 10" PVC pipe. Landscaping that includes a pathway can be installed over the 10" PVC and between the pond and the Pelican HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer! You simply can't do that with any other brand of pond skimmer!

The super strong, Heavy Duty 10" PVC pipe can support hundreds of pounds of weight without breaking.
The unique design of HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers allow them to easily attach to PVC pipe for remote installation. PVC pipe is under most every landscape in the world - and only HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers can connect to PVC pipe for solid, leak-free remote installations.

Remotely installing your Pelican HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer not only hides it from view and lets you place landscaping between it and the pond - it lets you install the skimmer where an electrical power source is.
In this photo, the pond is installed prior to the rest of the landscaping. You can see the space between the pond and the Pelican HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer. What type of landscaping would you place here? A pathway? A patio? Lawn? Flower? Shrubs? All the above? Do you see the benefit of placing the skimmer away from the pond?
