Aquascape Pondless Snorkel Vault & Cap
United Waterscapes utilises Aquascape Snorkel and Centipede systems in constructed wetlands.
The Aquascape Snorkel Vault is a key component in the installation of a wetland filtration system, which is becoming increasingly popular for large ponds and water features. The Snorkel Vault works in tandem with the Aquascape Centipede Module and wetland filter to create a natural filtration system that helps maintain clean, clear water in large-scale pond projects. United Waterscapes chooses Aquascape Pondless Snorkel Vaults as the product of choice when installing constructed wetland filters.
Key Features
Durable Construction: Like other Aquascape products, the Pondless Snorkel Vault is built with heavy-duty, high-quality plastic that’s designed to last in tough outdoor conditions. It’s highly durable, ensuring that it will hold up well even under the weight of large amounts of gravel, soil, and water.
Efficient Pump Access: The standout feature of the Pondless Snorkel Vault is its ease of access. The tall, narrow design allows for the installation of the Snorkel at the bottom of the wetland filtration area, where it facilitates easy access to the pump. Maintenance, cleaning, or replacing the pump is simple because the vault extends above the gravel bed, eliminating the need to dig or disturb the filtration system.
Integration with Wetland Filtration System: The Snorkel Vault is designed to integrate seamlessly with Aquascape’s wetland filtration system. When used in combination with the Centipede Module, it enhances the pond’s natural filtration, improving water quality without relying heavily on mechanical filtration methods.
Versatile Use: While it's primarily used in larger ponds, the Snorkel Vault can also be adapted for different pond sizes and designs, making it a versatile choice for a variety of water features.
Benefits
Improved Water Quality: The Snorkel Vault, as part of a wetland filtration system, promotes the breakdown of organic matter and nutrient cycling, reducing algae and maintaining clear, healthy water.
Low Maintenance: Thanks to its convenient design, accessing and maintaining the pump is much easier than with traditional filtration systems, reducing the overall maintenance workload on the pond owner.
Eco-Friendly: The wetland filtration system works with natural processes, using bacteria and plants to filter the water, which makes the pond healthier for both wildlife and fish.
Warranty and Product Support: The Pondless Snorkel fault has a limited Lifetime Warranty and has great support by Aquascape Australia.
Conclusion
The Aquascape Pondless Snorkel Vault is a robust and effective product for those serious about pond filtration. Its combination of durability, ease of maintenance, and superior integration with wetland systems makes it an excellent choice for large pond installations. While it might not be the right fit for smaller, simpler ponds, for those working on a large water feature or looking to establish a wetland filter, the Snorkel Vault is an essential component that enhances both water quality and ease of maintenance.
