Proper plumbing setup is crucial for the performance of EXT pumps. Incorrect installations can result in pump failure or damage. We suggest using the Aquascape EXT Pump Plumbing Kit, which includes all essential fittings and valves for straightforward installation, priming, and operation. Once primed, the pump can be activated and deactivated without the need for re-priming as long as water is present in the suction line.
3″ swing check valve in the Pondless® Waterfall Vault ensures pump suction intake for water supply to the EXT pump
3″ union connection facilitates quick and easy maintenance
3″ liner flange allows plumbing to pass through the liner sub-surface, making it easier to conceal the plumbing outside the pond's edge
3″ van stone flange connection on the pump intake and a 2″ van stone flange connection on the pump discharge simplify pump servicing
2″ priming port and ball valve included for easy initial startup
2″ to 3″ bushing enables underground connection to 3″ Aquascape Flexible PVC pipe
