Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer Features:

The Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer's 6" water inlet pipe.

Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers feature a "built-in" 6" inlet pipe that makes liner attachment super easy - with just a single Stainless Steel nut and a Stainless Steel hose clamp!

The inlet pipe also allows the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer to easily attach to standard 4" or 6" PVC pipe - flexible or rigid - for unparalleled remote installation capabilities.

 

 

Click on this diagram to enlargeRemote skimmer installation makes for a much nicer looking pond, and gives the designer options like no other skimmer. Don't have an electrical power source near the pond for the pump? No problem! Simply move the skimmer closer to the electrical power source with PVC piping! No other brand of pond skimmer on the market can do that!

 

 

The Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer with the lid off and a 6"x4" Reducer Coupler and 2" Bottom Drain adaptor installed.HydroClean™ pond skimmers are compatible with the Bottom Drains used in Koi ponds and Hybrid Ponds™.

The Piper HydroClean™ pond skimmer is available with 2" or 3" Bottom Drain inlets.

This photo on the left shows the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer ready for a 4" skimmer intake pipe for a remote installation and a 2" Bottom Drain inlet before installation on a Koi pond as seen in the next photo.

The photo on the right shows the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer with the 4" skimmer intake pipe set 26" away from the pond's edge and a 2" bottom drain line attached during the construction of a Koi pond.

This Koi pond is partially constructed above ground, and this photo shows how versatile the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer really is.

 

 

Another Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer being remotely installed on a Koi Pond with Bottom Drain plumbing.This photo on the left shows the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer being  remotely installed on another Koi pond with 4 feet of 4" skimmer intake pipe, 90° elbow, and a 2" bottom drain intake plumbed before being hidden by landscaping.

The Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer is completely fish friendly*, by reducing the skimmer intake line down to 4" PVC, a weir door is not needed to create surface skimming vacuum, thus fish can easily swim into and OUT OF the Piper HydroClean™ skimmer! 

*When Optional 6" Weir Door Housing is NOT used.

The Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer's intake pipe "vacuum wave" skimming debris from the pond's surface.Notice in this photo on the right the skimming "vacuum wave"
created by the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer's 4" intake pipe.  This "vacuum wave" is created with as little as 1,800 gph of pump suction power.  It's even stronger with larger pumps!  This "vacuum wave" eliminates the need for the Weir Door Housing.

No other brand of pond skimmer has the versatility of HydroClean™
Pond Skimmers.

 

 

YES! I'm ready to purchase a Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer!

 

The heavy duty Stainless Steel framed, reinforced nylon leaf net sock inside the Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer.All HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers feature "Dry-Hands" Servicing. This means that all serviceable components are ABOVE the water line. Many brands of pond skimmers on the market feature filter pads that are under water by as much as 15". That is something to think about when the water temperature is just above freezing in the Fall and Winter months! After all, you're the one who has to clean your skimmer - and HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers keeps your hands out of the frigid water!

 

The Black Knight filter brushes inside the Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer.Both the leaf net and the brush rack handles are above the water line for easy grasping and removal for rinsing.

Also, the CamLock Checkvalve Assemblies are above the water line too. So in the event you need to remove or service your pump, again, you won't have to put your hands into the water!

 

 

 

The heavy duty Stainless Steel framed, reinforced nylon leaf net sock comes with each Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer.

HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers use Heavy Duty Stainless Steel, one-piece frames inside the leaf nets. The net itself is a "sock" made from Heavy Duty "Diver's Nylon" netting, and is reinforced around the frame with Heavy Duty nylon mesh.

HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer net socks are the strongest and most durable in the industry for long life and use. They capture more debris, and last much longer than the flimsy plastic baskets, or weak aluminum framed leaf nets found in other brands of pond skimmers. When comparing pond skimmers, actually "touch and feel" the filter elements inside. After all, you'll be the one cleaning your skimmer, and do you want the skimmer elements to last.......or do you want to replace them often? The life-long costs of purchasing lower quality pond skimmers far exceed the cost of purchasing a high quality HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer the first time.

YES! I'm ready to purchase a Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer!

Easy Plumbing Installation

Double Threaded inlet and outlet ports on the Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer.

All Inlets and Outlets are "Pre-Installed" on HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers. This makes for simple, quick, and easy plumbing attachment inside, and outside the skimmer.

The Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer features 3 Interchangeable 2" Outlet Ports that are Female Threaded inside and outside the skimmer walls. The Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer also has a ½" Inlet Port for the simple, quick, and easy installation of an Automatic Water Fill Valve. Plugs are included for the Ports that you may choose not to use.

Having threaded ports means that all connections to the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer are not only water tight, they are soil tight. Why is that important? Skimmers get installed underground. If the plumbing connections entering or exiting the skimmer are not "soil tight", then soil falls into the skimmer. Every time it rains, you'll be washing soil into your pond through the skimmer's plumbing openings! So when comparing brands of pond skimmers, look to see how the plumbing lines enter and exit the skimmer body. If they aren't soil tight, you'll be constantly removing soil from your skimmer, filtration system, and pond. Or simply purchase a HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer and rest assured that you purchased the finest "soil tight" pond skimmer on the market!

Multiple Plumbing Options

The left double threaded outlet port of the Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer.The Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer gives you a choice of 3 Interchangeable double-threaded 2" outlet ports. One on the left side, one on the back side, and one on the right side of the skimmer body.

This allows you to choose which direction you want the plumbing lines to extend to and from the skimmer.

 

 

 

The rear and right side double threaded outlet ports of the Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer.

The Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer's double-threaded outlet ports also let you plumb two pumps inside the skimmer and still have the third outlet port available for an overflow line.

Each outlet port is "double-threaded", meaning that they are threaded inside and outside the skimmer wall for easy plumbing attachment. No drilling of outlet holes, or special tools are required to attach bulkhead fittings like in other brands of pond skimmers. When comparing pond skimmers, always ask: "How do I install the plumbing lines?".

 

All Fittings Installed by Hand

Fittings simply thread directly into the Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer's double threaded ports.

All the plumbing fittings get installed by hand directly to the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers double threaded ports. No drilling holes, and no special tools for bulkhead fittings are required.

Simply apply a small bead of the included 100% Silicone Sealant to the male threads of the fitting, and thread it into the skimmer's female threaded fittings. Simple. Easy. Quick.

 

 

Pipe adaptors thread into the outside of the doulbe threaded outlet ports of the Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer.

 

Only tighten by hand. There is no need to "over tighten" with large tools as the 100% Silicone dries, it makes a water tight seal.

 

Once the fittings are attached to the skimmer, simply glue the PVC plumbing lines to the fittings. Simple. Easy. Quick.

 

The Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer's double threaded 1/2" water fill port.

HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers are pre-fitted with a double-threaded ½" Inlet Port for an optional Automatic Water Fill Valve. (a plug is included if you choose not install the optional water fill valve)

The Automatic Water Fill Valve threads directly into the inside threads of the 1/2" double threaded water fill inlet port.

The optional Automatic Water Fill Valve threads directly into the ½" Inlet Port. The Automatic Water Fill Valve's location within the HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer is completely away from the leaf net and filter brushes so you won't "bump" it out of adjustment during cleaning of the skimmer elements, unlike many other brands of pond skimmers.

 

 

 

The 1/2" water fill pipe adaptor threads into the outside threads of the double threaded inlet port of the Piper HydroClean Pond Skimmer.

 

As with the other plumbing lines extending to and from the Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer, the fittings for the ½" water line that supply the optional Automatic Water Fill Valve thread directly to the double-threaded port.

Place a small bead of the included 100% Silicone Sealant to the threads of the pipe adaptor, and hand tighten into the port. Simple. Easy. Quick.
