Will the ProSkimmer System eliminate pond scum?
What is often termed pond scum is generally floating algae (most commonly Spirogyra) and prokaryotes (most commonly Cyanobacteria) which produce dense masses of tangled filaments that accumulate on the surface of stagnant or slowly moving waters, resulting in what looks like slime. The ProSkimmer System is not designed to remove matted floating weeds, so technically, it will not eliminate pond scum. But if used early in the season before matting begins, the ProSkimmer System may make a difference.
