1 PSA3600D Skimmer/Filter Combo Installation Instructions InstallIng your sKIMMEr/FIltEr CoMBo 1 Determine Placement Ideal placement is opposite the waterfall or main return for improved circulation. 2 Excavate Hole Once pond has been excavated, determine water level with a transit or laser level. Ideal standing water level is 1" down from top of skimmer opening. Excavate hole for skimmer to proper depth and size. PSA3600D: Hole should be 22" wide x 36" long x 18 1 / 2 " deep below water level. Make sure to create a solid, compacted and level base in bottom of the hole. If an extension tube is used make sure that excavated hole for skimmer/filter is proper distance from pond edge. 3 level the Psa3600D Place tub into excavated hole. The PSA3600D must be level from side to side and front to back in order to function properly. Once level, insert black PVC spreader bar and install the lid to keep inside of skimmer aligned and clean. Then back fill about 1 / 3 of the hole to keep the skimmer in place while finishing liner installation, rock and lighting placement.
