Every EasyPro pond kit SKU reviewed with verified specs — Pro-Series and Eco-Series from 6×6 through 16×21, plus pumps, filters, bead filters, and pondless kits. Expert recommendations from authorized dealer Pond Pro Direct.
Quick Summary — EasyPro Pond Kits at Pond Pro Direct
An EasyPro pond kit is the benchmark value choice in professional-grade residential pond equipment — contractor-quality components, honest component specifications, and LED lighting included in every kit, at prices that consistently run 10–20% below Aquascape equivalents for comparable hardware quality. This guide covers every EasyPro kit SKU available at Pond Pro Direct with verified specifications, honest assessments, and the clear decision framework our team uses to recommend the right EasyPro kit for every buyer.
Pond Pro Direct has been an authorized EasyPro dealer since 2003. EasyPro is an employee-owned company based in Grant, Michigan, with 45+ years of real-world water garden installation experience. Every product in their lineup was built by people who install ponds professionally — and designed to solve the problems they encountered with the other equipment that was available. That manufacturing philosophy shows in the specs, and this guide shows you where it matters most.
A completed EasyPro Pro-Series pond installation — the AquaFalls biological waterfall filter at the upper edge, Mini PSMFB Skimmer at pond edge, and the crystal-clear water that results from correctly matched EasyPro filtration. Note the LED waterfall lights visible under the falls.
EasyPro occupies a specific and well-defined position in the pond equipment market: professional contractor standards, employee-owned manufacturing integrity, and a product lineup priced for DIY buyers who don't want to compromise on component quality. In practical terms, that means a few things that matter to pond buyers specifically:
Every EasyPro Pro-Series kit ships with three mini LED lights and a 45-watt transformer. At the time of writing, Aquascape's comparable DIY series (99763, 99764, 99765) does not include lighting, requiring a separate $80–$150 purchase. EasyPro's standard inclusion means the effective price comparison between brands at any given kit size is materially closer than sticker prices suggest.
EasyPro specifies pump GPH ratings clearly — and more importantly, specifies the pump model name and warranty term on every product page, not just a generic "energy-efficient pump" placeholder. The EP2200 pump (included in small kits) is rated at 2,200 GPH with a 3-year warranty; the TH150 (included in ES11AFB and ES16AFB) is rated at 3,100 GPH with a 2-year warranty. These are the numbers you use to verify flow compatibility with your filtration and head height requirements before purchasing.
EasyPro kits now ship with their proprietary DuraLiner 45 mil EPDM rubber liner — the same fish-safe, UV-resistant, -40°F-flexible material as competitor 45 mil EPDM, but manufactured to EasyPro's own quality specifications and backed by a 20-year warranty. It is a material upgrade over the generic EPDM previously shipped with their kits and a direct competitive match to Aquascape's 45 mil liner specification.
EasyPro's patented Axiom Pro skimmer — used in their medium and large kit series — was an industry first in incorporating a factory-installed 3-inch bottom drain and 2-inch pump hookup port in a single skimmer housing. This design enables a true bottom drain system without the external plumbing complexity typically required, which is a meaningful practical advantage for buyers building koi ponds where bottom drain functionality is essential for water quality management.
All EasyPro Pro-Series pond kits share a standard component set. Understanding what each element does helps you evaluate kit tiers and compare with competing brands meaningfully.
EasyPro Pro-Series kits do not include biological filter media (Matala pads or equivalent). The AquaFalls filter includes filter brushes as mechanical/biological media, but additional Matala mat media — which significantly increases biological surface area — must be purchased separately. For any pond with a meaningful fish load, adding Matala media to the AquaFalls filter is strongly recommended and is a low-cost upgrade relative to the kit price.

EasyPro's small Pro-Series kits span five sizes from 6×6 through 11×16 feet. The first three (ES66FB, ES611FB, ES811FB) share the same PSMFB mini skimmer and EP2200 pump; the larger two (ES11AFB, ES16AFB) upgrade to the PS1FB skimmer and TH150 pump.
EasyPro's AquaFalls biological waterfall filter (upper left) and Pro-Series PSMFB skimmer (right edge) — the filtration backbone used across the small Pro-Series kit range. Filter brushes provide combined mechanical and biological filtration in the AquaFalls housing.
EasyPro's medium Pro-Series kits (EM-series) represent a genuine system upgrade from the small series — not just a larger liner, but a fundamentally more capable filtration system with the larger AM Medium AquaFalls filter, 2-inch PVC plumbing, and higher-capacity TH-series pumps.
In addition to the Pro-Series, EasyPro offers an Eco-Series complete pond kit — a larger 15×20 ft footprint at a lower price point than the comparable Pro-Series size, achieved by using EasyPro's Eco-Series skimmer and filter components rather than the Pro-Series hardware. The Eco-Series kit is the right choice for buyers who need a large footprint on a constrained budget and are building primarily a water garden or goldfish pond rather than a serious koi system. Pond Pro Direct carries the Eco-Series kit alongside the full Pro-Series range.
Pro-Series kits use EasyPro's contractor-grade Axiom skimmer and AquaFalls filter — the same components professional installers use on commercial and high-end residential projects. Eco-Series kits use EasyPro's standard skimmer and filter line, which is solid for water garden use but lacks the flow capacity and debris handling of the Pro-Series hardware. For koi or any pond with a meaningful fish load, Pro-Series is the right tier.
EasyPro's Just-A-Falls series covers pondless waterfall installations — complete kits including the EasyPro pond vault (basin), submersible pump, check valve assembly, AquaFalls filter, 45 mil rubber liner, felt underlayment, and flexible PVC pipe. Three sizes are available, or EasyPro can custom-build a pondless kit for non-standard dimensions.
The Just-A-Falls system is EasyPro's answer to the "all the beauty, none of the pond maintenance" market — the same buyer profile served by Aquascape's pondless kits and Blue Thumb's pondless systems. EasyPro's vault design is notable: it is purpose-built for heavy stone loading, roto-molded for structural integrity, and includes slot-cut sides for water entry rather than the perforated panels used in some competing designs.

Beyond complete kits, Pond Pro Direct carries EasyPro's full product range for builders who want to configure custom systems or upgrade existing ponds:
EasyPro's TH-Series submersible pumps — TH100, TH150, TH250, TH400 — are the same pumps shipped in their Pro-Series kits and available individually for replacement or upgrade. All TH-Series pumps are energy-efficient asynchronous motors with 2-year warranties. GPH ratings at head height are specified on every product listing.

Available individually in Mini, Small, and Medium sizes — matched to pond volume ranges of up to 1,000, 2,000, and 3,500+ gallons respectively. Each includes EasyPro's signature filter brush system, a molded rock lip for natural waterfall appearance, and accepts Matala mat media for enhanced biological surface area.
EasyPro's PBF-series pressurized bead filters are the highest-performance filtration hardware in their lineup — commercial-grade mechanical and biological filtration for serious koi ponds. The PBF6000BL (rated up to 6,000 gallons) and PBF10000 (up to 10,000 gallons) are self-backwashing, handle high fish loads without stress, and pair naturally with bottom drain plumbing. These are the right upgrade for any EasyPro kit buyer who subsequently expands their koi collection beyond the kit's rated biological capacity.
EasyPro's proprietary 45 mil EPDM liner is available in boxed precut sizes from 10×10 through 20×20 ft for custom builds or liner replacement. The DuraLiner range at Pond Pro Direct covers all standard residential pond footprints.

EasyPro kits are well-documented with included installation guides, but these supplemental tips from our installation experience address the most common first-time mistakes specific to EasyPro's system design.
The AquaFalls filter's brushes provide effective mechanical filtration and a biological media surface, but Matala mat media adds significant additional biological surface area that materially improves water clarity — particularly in ponds with fish. EasyPro sells Matala media separately; order a sheet sized to your AquaFalls model at the same time as the kit. It drops directly into the filter housing above the brushes and requires no modification.
EasyPro's patent on filter brush pre-filtration means the AquaFalls brushes do dual duty — capturing suspended solids before they reach the biological media, and providing colonization surface for beneficial bacteria simultaneously. The maintenance implication: clean brushes more gently than you would foam pads. Vigorous rinsing removes the biological colony along with the captured debris. Rinse in pond water with a gentle swish — remove solids but preserve the bacteria coating on the brush fibers.
The EP2200's most common performance issue is impeller clogging from fine debris that passes through the skimmer screen. Check the impeller chamber quarterly by removing the pump from the skimmer vault, unscrewing the intake cap, and inspecting for accumulated debris. Five-minute maintenance task; prevents the reduced flow and motor overheating that causes premature pump failure. See our complete pond pump guide for detailed pump maintenance protocols.
EasyPro includes black waterfall foam in every kit's installation package — use every can. The foam seals gaps between waterfall stones that would otherwise allow water to run behind the rock face rather than over it. A fully foamed waterfall runs a clean, natural-looking sheet of water; an unfoamed one drips inconsistently and loses significant visual impact. If you run out before the feature is fully sealed, order an additional can before completing the rockwork.

All EasyPro Pro-Series pond kits include: Pro-Series AquaFalls biological waterfall filter with filter brushes, Pro-Series skimmer with filter brushes, 45-mil EPDM DuraLiner rubber liner with 20-year warranty, geotextile liner underlayment, energy-efficient submersible pump (model varies by kit size), beneficial bacteria, check valve assembly with fittings and instructions, 25 feet of flex PVC pipe (1.5" in small kits; 2" in medium kits), three mini LED lights with 45-watt transformer, and a waterfall installation kit (PVC glue, primer, silicone, black foam). Filter media (Matala pads) is NOT included and should be purchased separately for best biological filtration performance.
EasyPro small kits (ES-series) use the Mini or Small AquaFalls filter and either the PSMFB mini skimmer (ES66FB through ES811FB, with the EP2200 at 2,200 GPH) or the PS1FB small skimmer (ES11AFB and ES16AFB, with the TH150 at 3,100 GPH), plus 1.5-inch PVC throughout. Medium kits (EM-series) upgrade to the larger AM Medium AquaFalls filter, keep the PS1FB skimmer, and use higher-capacity TH-series pumps — TH250 (4,100 GPH) for the EM1116FB and TH400 (5,100 GPH) for the EM1621FB — with 2-inch PVC plumbing throughout. The medium kits are meaningfully different systems, not just larger versions of the small kits.
Yes — all EasyPro Pro-Series pond kits include three mini LED lights with a 45-watt transformer in every kit as a standard inclusion, from the smallest ES66FB through the largest EM1621FB. This differentiates EasyPro from Aquascape's comparable DIY series (99763, 99764, 99765), which does not include lighting at equivalent price points — meaning the effective price gap between brands at any given kit size is smaller than sticker prices suggest when LED lighting cost is factored in.
EasyPro pump warranties vary by model: the EP2200 pump (included in ES66FB, ES611FB, and ES811FB) carries a 3-year limited warranty — the longest standard pump warranty in this kit price range. The TH150 pump (included in ES11AFB and ES16AFB) carries a 2-year limited warranty. The TH250 and TH400 pumps (included in EM-series kits) also carry 2-year limited warranties. The EP2200's 3-year warranty is a meaningful value consideration when comparing the ES811FB with the Aquascape 99765 at the same pond size.
EasyPro is an employee-owned company with 45+ years of water garden installation experience, based in Grant, Michigan. Their pond kits are used by both professional installers and DIY homeowners across North America. EasyPro is known for honest component specifications, contractor-grade build quality, and the inclusion of LED lighting in every kit. Pond Pro Direct has been an authorized EasyPro dealer since 2003 and consistently recommends their Pro-Series kits as a strong alternative to Aquascape — particularly for buyers prioritizing value, LED lighting inclusion, and the EP2200's 3-year pump warranty. For a detailed brand comparison, see our Best Pond Kits for Small Backyards guide.
For most first-time pond builders, the EasyPro ES811FB (8×11 ft, ~1,000 gallons) is the right starting point — complete, lit, 3-year pump warranty, and priced to compete directly with the Aquascape 99765 at a lower sticker price with LED lighting already in the box. Add Matala media to the AquaFalls filter at purchase, run bacteria supplements for the first four weeks, and you have a professional-grade ecosystem pond that will perform cleanly for years.
For koi-focused builds, the key upgrade decision is at 2,000 gallons: choose the EM1116FB over the ES16AFB whenever koi are in the plan — the AM Medium AquaFalls gives you the biological headroom the small-series filter doesn't. And for serious koi collections at 3,800 gallons, the EM1621FB paired with an EasyPro PBF pressurized bead filter is a professional-grade system at a DIY-accessible price point.
