I just installed my Savio skimmer this week in my pond/stream. I also
installed the automatic water level sensor/filler (mechanical). It just pops
into one of the side pieces. It is a really nice piece of equipment. Just
make sure that your liner has NO wrinkles in it when attaching the face
plate. I have not put in the UV lights. I am running about 4500 gallons/hr
through the 8.5" skimmer. Works great so far.

Good luck.

I will be a new pond owner this season with a 4,400 gallon pond and just
got a savio skimmer from
http://www.webbsonline.com/catalog/skim/index.html , who by the way are a
great company to deal with. I have installed the skimmer but not used it
yet, but it looks very easy to maintain, I like the leaf basket. Plus if
you
want to add uv lights it has a spot for them. The rear filter is just
lifted
out and rinsed with water to clean also the skimmer can filter about 1000
gallons stand alone. Hope this helps.

Hi folks..
I'd like to know if anyone has purchased a Savio Skimmer?
Would also like to know about the maintenance? How
much physical labor is involved and how often?

Any ideas??
