Mine is a cheap as chips generic version of the Kockney Koi type Skimmer, details below, (dunno if that's available in the US?) It was branded MEGA pond supplies part no. 0181050. Over here they're about £30-£40, without the pointless widemouth bit, which is renowned for developing leaks anyway.

A well known and accepted koi pond design is to turn over the pond once an hour. The larger the pond, the more power is consumed to do that.

Brian, The correct dose rate for sodium thiosulphate crystals is 13 grams per 1,000 (Imperial) gallons which will dechlorinate water up to a chlorine/chloramine level of 0.8 mg/L This is about twice the normal maximum chlorine level in UK tap water supplies so there is a safety margin in case extra chlorine is added to sterilise the pipes.
