1. Setting the Bf1600

Oasis Skimmer Installation

EXCAVATING AND SETTING THE PS3900

Prior to setting the skimmer you must first determine the surface level of the water in

the pond. Once you have this number you can excavate for the Skimmer. The excavation

should be a few inches wider and longer than the Skimmer body. The depth of excavation

for the PS3900 should be 15" below water level. Do not dig too deep. The skimmer

should be set on stable, compacted soil. In the case that you over-dig, be sure to compact

the soil thoroughly to prevent settling. The bottom of the hole should be level side-to-

side and front-to-back (Figure 5).

Figure 5.

15"

Place the skimmer enclosure into the excavated hole. Check the top of the enclosure to

make sure that it is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Check where your pre-determined

water level falls on the face of the skimmer enclosure. Water level should be 11/4" below

the top of the weir door opening.

Make sure that any unexcavated soil that is left in front of the Skimmer is at least 10"

below water level. This will ensure that there is enough room for the weir door to be

installed and function properly.

Before you go any further into the Skimmer installation, it is a good idea to place a few

stones inside the Skimmer enclosure to weigh it down and keep it from moving.

Prior to backfilling the enclosure, make sure the support bar is installed inside the

skimmer. The support bar must be in place for the enclosure to retain its shape during the

backfilling process. Loosely backfill the enclosure on all sides, lightly compacting as you

go. Do not over-compact the soil! Aggressive compaction may deform the enclosure and

cause components to fit improperly.

ATTACHING THE LINER

Hold the liner up against the face of the Skimmer, allowing a minimum of 2" to extend

above the top of the enclosure. Leave some excess slack in the liner below the weir

opening. This will help alleviate any future strain on the liner connection.

Make sure that the front surface of the Skimmer, and the back side of the liner, are clean

and free of debris. When you are satisfied with the position of the liner, clip it in place with

the provided spring clips. With a sharp razor knife, cut a hole in the liner for the weir door

using the hole in the face of the skimmer as a guide (Figure 6).
