Default empty pond, skimmer help

Ok, it's empty! I was thinking about putting in a skimmer, any suggestions on
brands? Ease of installation on old rubber? About a 500 gal pond. I have a
rena 1250 pump.

Thanks
Mo

This is where I will not try to save money! Get a solid good quality
skimmer with a bullet proof outlet, and solid inlet with stainless steel
screws! Skimmers are great, wish I had plumbed mine with a skimmer, a
bottom drain, and a filter fall! May just redo my pond this summer for that
very reason!

Savio seems to be the latest and greatest - very well constructed and has
places built into it for 2 optional UV's if you use them - they also have a
bio - falls filter w/ spillway you can add to your pond if so desired
