Recommended Hoses

We recommend you purchase one or more Hose Kits with your System.  We sell our Hose Kits to make connection easy and to fit your needs.  But if you have special needs, like setting the System's filter a long way from the skimmer, you will need to purchase a 2" hose to connect the skimmer to the filter, and we recommend you purchase 3 inch pipe (or hoses) to return filtered water back to your pond.

Your ProSkimmer system requires one 2-inch hose for connecting the in-water skimmer to the on-shore filter, and two 3-inch hoses or pipes for returning water from the filter to your pond. Our Hose Kit includes a 25 foot 2 inch hose, and 4 lengths of modular 3 inch pipe with connectors - everything you need to get started.  ProSkim recommends using rigid (suction) hose or ABS or PVC piping for returning water to your pond because the filtered water flows by gravity only and is not under pressure. Flexible return hoses are not recommended for most applications. You may readily find these hoses or pipes at your local supply house or plumbing wholesaler. If you would like to purchase your own hose, or ever need more, here are some national vendors for these parts (all prices and model numbers current as of September 2011 and subject to change):

Other Options

  • The best, cheapest, and easiest 3 inch water return system can be easily assembled from standard ABS (black) or PVC (white) plastic pipe and fittings from your local plumbing supply wholesaler. 

  • As outlined in the User's Manual, using a long length of fixed 3-inch pipe to return water to your lake or pond allows you to return the warm, aerated filtered water to a deep spot in the center of your pond, promoting circulation of the aerated water and is recommended.
