Installation Instructions for Skimmers,
AquaFalls Filters and EasyPro Pond Kits

EasyPro pond kits include 

everything you need to 

build professional looking 

water features including the 

industry’s best skimmers and 

filters. Pond builders across 

the nation have discovered 

buying their ponds in a kit 

form is much easier than trying 

to piece together each job. 

When you buy a complete kit 

you know everything you need 

will be onsite and that all items 

will work together to give you 

a great looking pond.

Building 

beautiful water 

features is 

enjoyable when 

you use the 

right products. 

EasyPro pond 

kits make you 

look like you’re 

a pro even if it’s your first pond! EasyPro skimmers and 

filters were designed by pond builders who had installed 

the other equipment available on the market but wanted 

something better. The results are these skimmers and 

filters which we feel are the finest available anywhere.

EVERY POND KIT INCLUDES:

6.  Check valve assembly

7.  Waterfall installation kit

8.  Flexible PVC pipe

9.  *Underwater light kit with transformer

10. *Bacteria

*These items are not included in mini pond kits
