I don't have the Savio, but I do have skimmers on both ponds. The Savio is
the latest and greatest? to cvome down the pipe. It has similar features to
my skimmers, except it also has the ability to add internal UV. I think
that all ponds should have some form of bottom drain and a good skimmer.
These work together to reduce maintenance by the owner. Gives more time for
pond enjoyment.

Does anyone have any advise on the Savio Skimmerfilter 160? My pond is in
the 5000 gallon range and right now I don't have a skimmer at all.

Thanks!
