Water Clarification Skimmers

Faircloth Skimmer®

The original sediment basin skimmer, trusted nationwide.

The Faircloth Skimmer is the industry’s original floating surface drain. It improves water quality by withdrawing cleaner water from just below the surface of sediment basins. Its patented design regulates basin drawdown, protects against clogging, and allows for controlled dewatering in compliance with both EPA and state requirements. With over 30 years of proven field use, Faircloth remains the most specified and trusted name in the industry.

What is the construction of a Faircloth Skimmer?

Each skimmer is constructed with durable PVC components. In addition, its heavy-duty flex hose assembly ensures the skimmer always stays connected. Furthermore, our newly designed orifice gate is adjustable, providing a quick, accurate setup without cutting tools. This simplifies installation and improves reuse potential. Not to mention, Auburn University’s Stormwater Research Facility independently tested and verified the water clarification skimmer’s flow rates to verify performance.
