Depending on how big your pond will be. 2 or 3 hundred gallons, probley not. Larger than that you need the skimmer and a bottom drain. My estimate, based on what I have seen in my friends yards...is that I will end up with 2-3000 gallons. What issues arise without a skimmer? A bottom drain too? I had not even planned on that at all. The skimmer was a possible idea, but the bottom drain never entered my mind. I'd hate to cut my liner. Everything that lands on a pond surface, unless skimmed off, or eaten, will sink to the bottom. If you have a good bottom drain, then you could get away without a skimmer. Without a bottom drain that can remove debris like leaves and such, it is left up to you to do it, and you will have to do it each fall at a minimum. It is a lot easier to bite the bullet, and do the job right the first time, rather than the last time. |
