Skimoil Floating Weir Oil Skimmer For Duck Weed Removal

Skimoil Floating Weir Oil Skimmer For Duck Weed Removal can be removed with the Floating Weir Skimmer (FWS) which is a floating surface skimmer. If it floats freely and can move across the surface on a flow of water, the FWS is a great tool for watermeal and duckweed removal.

The Descriptions of Oilskim Floating Weir Oil Skimmer For Duck Weed Removal

Pumping water from the FWS sump creates an equal flow into the skimmer’s mouth or waterfall/weir of the skimmer and the sump. This skim or waterfall of fluid entering the skimmer carries loose floating materials (duckweed) or algae or weed into the skimmer.

If this flow is sent to a filter or strainer to hold back the duckweed the water can be drained back to the source. Since duckweed increases exponentially, the removal of most of it allows you to keep up with it as opposed to trying to catch up.

Duckweed generally likes a eutrophic environment and calm waters and can double its numbers daily. Some biocides will kill the water meal but their selectivity is lacking which means you can kill the whole pond or lake with the wrong biotreatment. Avoid when possible!

We find the largest skimmers (Model #FWS00A381 pictured left) are most effective since they have a 23” wide weir which acts as a mouth to open and allow the flow of water and duckweed into it. Big mouths can take big bites!

?Golf courses are heavy hang-out areas for duckweed, since they use lots of chemicals and treatments to keep the greens and fairways –well green. The big ponds attract the birds who can and do bring the water meal/duckweed in on their feathers and in their poop.
