Proper plumbing is key to getting the best performance from your EXT pump. Incorrect setup can cause pump issues or damage. We suggest the Aquascape EXT Pump Plumbing Kit. It includes all the fittings and valves needed for straightforward installation, priming, and operation. After the initial prime, you can turn the pump on and off without needing to re-prime, as long as there's water in the suction line.
A 3″ swing check valve in the Pondless® Waterfall Vault ensures the EXT pump pulls water from the supply.
A 3″ union connection allows for quick and easy maintenance.
A 3″ liner flange lets plumbing pass through the liner below the surface, making it simpler to conceal 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 make pump servicing easier.
A 2″ priming port and ball valve are included for simple initial startup.
A 2″ to 3″ bushing allows for underground connection to 3″ Aquascape Flexible PVC pipe.
