• Make sure the excavated area under the MicroSkim

compacted and level.

• The skimmer should be excavated down to a depth so

that the proposed water level in the pond is approximately

¾" below the top of the opening of the skimmer.

(See Ex. 4) If installing on an existing pond use the known

water level as your guideline on how deep to excavate the

skimmer.

• Re-check all your measurements, including length and

width of pond, plant shelf depth, and overall pond depth.

STEP 4

INSTALLING THE MICROSKIM

• You've already roughed out

a hole approximately 21"(l) x

18" (w) x 18" (h) deep during

the excavation phase. Use

a 2' bubble level in order to

make sure your MicroSkim

is properly set into position.

Your MicroSkim

should be

level from side to side and

front to back.

• Install the bulkhead fitting into the overflow opening.

Next install the barb fitting included with the kit into the

bulkhead fitting. A PVC slip fitting has also been included

in your kit in case you are using flexible PVC pipe. Use

some of the silicone sealant to coat the threads of the

fitting, in order to help provide a watertight seal.

• Make sure skimmer is set so the desired water level in

the pond is approximately ¾" below the top of skimmer

opening. (See Ex. 11 on previous page)

Attaching the MicroSkim

WARNING

Power tools are not recommended for installing the

screws and may strip the nut inserts

• Position the liner against the

MicroSkim

opening, making

sure there is slack below the

opening. This will help reduce

tension on the faceplate when

placing boulders in front of

the unit. Use your finger or a

screwdriver to mark the outer

perimeter of the MicroSkim

opening on the liner.

(See Ex. 6)

• Mark a second box 1.5" inside

of it. This insures that you don't

cut too much of the liner, which

would result in a possible leak.

(See Ex. 7)

• Cut the inner box using a pair of

scissors, and insert the skimmer

faceplate into the hole.

(See Ex. 8)

• Make sure MicroSkim

is in the upright position. The

hinge should be at the bottom.

(See Ex. 9)

• Temporarily install the faceplate

and liner to the skimmer

using two screws in the upper

corners. Using an awl or nail

poke the first hole in the liner all

the way through to the inside of

the filter box. Be careful not to
