may cause leaks.

MULCH AND LANDSCAPE
• The entire area
surrounding the basin can
now be mulched and any
surrounding plants added
(Ex. 55).

General Maintenance

• Debris Net:
– The skimmer is designed to sweep the surface of the water so this it is free from debris. The Debris Net inside the
skimmer is the first filter stage of the skimmer. The net will collect leaves, twigs, seeds, and other pond debris. It takes
approximately two to three minutes every other week to empty the Debris Net. More frequent changes will be required
during the fall and spring because of the quantity of leaves falling off the surrounding trees.
– It is a good habit during your first season with the pond to periodically lift the skimmer lid and check the quantity of debris
in the net. This is especially true in the fall. Keep a mental note as to how often your net has to be emptied. It's important
that the debris net is not allowed to become too full. Too much debris can reduce the water flow to the pump.
• Optional Brush Cartridge:
– The optional Filter Brush Cartridge (#99772) behind the debris basket is the second stage of the skimmer. The Brush
Cartridge is designed to handle any debris that finds its way past the Debris Net. The brush cartridge will not need
maintenance as frequently as the basket, since the basket will remove the majority of debris from the water. Remove and
rinse the brush cartridge when you notice less flow over the waterfall.
• Add Water - Water levels will reduce over time due to evaporation and water splash off. Top off the water level in the pond
throughout the year to ensure your pump has enough water to function properly.
• Add Water Treatments – To keep your pond clean and healthy we recommend adding an Aquascape Automatic Dosing
System, making it easier than ever to keep your pond looking beautiful. For information about the Automatic Dosing System
or other Aquascape water treatment products, visit aquascapeinc.com.

Winter Application

• If you have fish, you must maintain a constant hole in the
surface of the ice, allowing for proper gas exchange in your
pond. This can be accomplished by using the Aquascape
300-Watt Pond De-Icer, coupled with an Aquascape Pond
Aeration Kit and/or Aquascape AquaForce Solids Handling
Pond Pump positioned just below the surface of the water.
• If you decide against running the pump through the winter,
we recommend pulling the pump and storing it in a frost-
free location.
• If your water feature contains a shallow stream or waterfall,
we recommend checking throughout the season to
Ex. 55
eliminate ice damming if necessary.
