There are a few ways to make a skimmer sock. One way is to use a sock that is already made for a skimmer. Another way is to make a sock out of a regular sock, but cut it down the middle so that it is a half-sock. You then need to cut a hole in one end of the sock, and put a skimmer in the hole. You can also make a sock out of a garbage bag.

A skimmer is a device that is installed on the side of the pond and helps to remove debris from the water’s surface. It acts as a mechanical filter, removing leaves, twigs, uneaten food, and other floating particles before they sink to the bottom of the pond. How Does it Work? The working principle of a skimmer is quite simple yet effective.
Environmental Composites produces standard and custom skimmers in fiberglass, aluminum, and stainless or galvanized steel. The state of Florida mandates the use of stormwater skimmers in retention pond areas. The skimmer’s purpose is to prevent oil, grease and floatables from intruding into our pristine rivers, lakes and streams.
