Achieving optimal performance from your EXT pump relies on correct plumbing. Improper setup can lead to pump issues or damage. We recommend the Aquascape EXT Pump Plumbing Kit. It includes all necessary fittings and valves for straightforward installation, priming, and operation. Once initially primed, you can cycle the pump on and off without re-priming, provided the suction line retains water.
A 3″ swing check valve within the Pondless® Waterfall Vault ensures the EXT pump draws water from the source.
A 3″ union connection allows for quick and simple maintenance.
A 3″ liner flange permits plumbing to pass through the liner below the surface, simplifying the concealment of plumbing outside the pond's edge.
A 3″ van stone flange connection on the pump intake and a 2″ van stone flange connection on the pump discharge facilitate easier pump servicing.
A 2″ priming port and ball valve are included for easy initial startup.
A 2″ to 3″ bushing allows for underground connection to 3″ Aquascape Flexible PVC pipe.
