For the best results in your pond, remove water from the bottom of the pond via a bottom drain and the surface of the pond via a skimmer simultaneously.
Surface skimming is particularly important in the months of Spring when foaming is more likely and in Autumn when falling leaves are possible.
Although one skimmer is capable of "pulling" surface water from a wide area, in very large ponds multiple units can be used for greater effect.
Surface skimming is to be avoided in conjunction with pressurised filters due to the fear of air-locks.
