Water Clarification Skimmers

Reliable, high-quality water clarification skimmers for sediment basins and stormwater management.

Efficiently separate clean water from sediment with water clarification skimmers. These erosion and sediment control devices generally float on the top of a drainage basin. Then, during construction and stormwater water management, they draw clean water from the basin and leave sediment behind. As a result, water quality is improved and downstream erosion is reduced. Generally, water clarification skimmers for erosion and sediment control offer easy installation, minimal maintenance, and better water quality.

When determining which stormwater management products best support your project, loop in Ferguson Waterworks. Our local experts will assist from initial design to ongoing support. Plus, with distribution centers nationwide and a dedication to fast turnarounds, we are your single-source geo and stormwater supply partner.

Faircloth Skimmer®

A tried and true solution to water clarification, the Faircloth Skimmer is highly engineered to leave behind pollutants and drain clean water. Rather than draining a sediment basin from the bottom, the skimmer floats at the surface. Over several days, it slowly drains the basin without disturbing the resting sediment. As a result, it extracts pollutant-free water. This high-quality solution for sediment basins and stormwater management generates optimum results and offers simple installation.

What benefits does the Faircloth Skimmer provide?

  • Float, balance, and drain at the correct levels to maximize settling
  • Simple installation
  • Adjustable orifice for regulating filling and drawdown
  • Improved draining efficiency
  • Consistent draining rate

Marlee Float

Innovative, the Marlee Float Detention Pond Skimmer checks all the boxes with its industry-leading product design. From its rugged and durable HDPE pipe construction to its quick 5-minute installation, contractors and stormwater professionals across the country rely on this water management tool.

How does the Marlee Float Skimmer work?

Use the Marlee Float Detention Pond Skimmer in basins in order to promote ideal sediment settling. Sitting atop the water, this innovative water clarification device withdraws water from just below the surface to increase trapping efficiency.

What benefits does the Marlee Float Water Clarification Skimmer provide?

  • First and foremost, the Marlee Float skimmer is 3rd-party tested in varying conditions, meeting or exceeding both EPA and state requirements.
  • In addition, it is constructed with long-lasting and UV-resistant HDPE pipe and stainless steel fittings – it’s even been tested to perform in freezing conditions.
  • Customers can select from a wide range of sizes and flow rates.
  • Because the unit is shipped pre-assembled, installation is straightforward and quick.
  • With a 20-year lifespan, professionals are using it for both permanent and temporary applications.
