How & why it works!
Floating Flow Control Weir Skimmer
This skimmer starts off with the sump filled with water and/or
oil, which floats the weir to the closed position. As fluid is
pumped from the skimmer sump, the buoyant flow control
weir, automatically self adjusts (drops) allowing an equal amount to flow across the weir and into the floating
skimmer head. Its so simpleyet VERY effective. It always skimsthe surface, ALWAYS! Works with any pump
that can pull suction.
The depth of the skimmer cut or surface skim, is controlled and setby the
volume pumped from the skimmer sump, allowing a surface skim from 1/32"
to 1-1/4".

No manual adjustment neededever!

The floating weir skimmer self adjusts instantly and automatically to pump
flow rate and any wave action. Works great with any vacuum truck!

No training required! Bubba-proof!

(Sizes from 5-3,000 GPM) installation = simplejust attach a hose and put it in.

Floating Weir Skimmer

This non-selective floating skimmer creates a floating hole in the water!
Everything on the surface near itis attracted by the waterfall flow across the
weirand flows into itand then pumped out (by others). They are very effective as
long as you can handle the water that actually carries the oil to it. Used properly it can
influence (skim) a large areaFAST. Works great with a vac-truckmakes it much
more effective. With a control wand or by using guide ropes tied to the handles, you
can move it across the surfaceright to the oil or floating stuff. It acts almost like an
upside down vacuum cleaner head. By controlling your pumpyou can adjust the cut or skim off the
surfacefrom 1/8" to 2" off the top. It automatically self adjusts! How about 1/8" off the top?
One man can easily handle the smaller skimmer units.
