Request a QuoteHow It Works
The Marina Trash Skimmer uses proven pump technology to continuously collect floating debris from your waterway.
Water Flow Generation
A submersible pump creates a gentle water current that draws floating debris toward the collection unit. The pump speed is adjustable from 0-100% to optimize collection based on conditions.
Debris Collection
Floating materials are guided into a weir system that allows water to pass through while capturing debris in a removable collection basket. The basket is easily accessed for emptying.
Continuous Operation
The system operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with minimal supervision. A touchscreen control panel allows scheduling, monitoring, and adjustment of all system parameters.

Safe for Marine Life
The Marina Trash Skimmer is designed with the health of your marina's ecosystem in mind. Our system removes harmful debris while ensuring marine life remains protected.
- Gentle Water Flow - The pump creates a slow, controlled current that poses no danger to fish or other marine creatures.
- Surface Collection Only - The system is designed to collect only floating debris at the water's surface, not subsurface life.
- Easy Escape - Small marine life can easily swim away from the collection area due to the gentle flow rates.
- Chemical-Free Operation - No chemicals or harmful substances are used in the debris collection process.
- Improved Water Quality - By removing debris whole, including microplastics and oil sheen, overall water quality improves for all marine life.
