ⓘ Volume estimates assume 2-foot average depth. Koi ponds require deeper excavation (2.5–3 ft) and more biological filtration capacity per gallon. For koi ponds, plan 1,000 gal minimum per koi and size filtration above the kit rating. Call (765) 508-4352 for guidance.
EasyPro Pressurized Bead Filters — When Do You Need One?
EasyPro's bead filter lineup is the highest-performance filtration option in their catalog — designed for serious koi keepers who need more than a gravity-fed biological waterfall filter can provide. Here's how to know if you need one:
Standard AquaFalls Filter — Right for Most Ponds
EasyPro's AquaFalls biological waterfall filter is included in all Pro-Series and Eco-Series pond kits. It provides strong mechanical and biological filtration for water gardens and lightly-to-moderately stocked koi ponds at the kit's rated capacity. The waterfall it creates is both decorative and functional. Best for ponds with light-to-moderate fish loads and any decorative water garden.
PBF Bead Filter — For Serious Koi Ponds
EasyPro's pressurized bead filters (PBF6000BL and PBF10000) use plastic bead media in a pressurized vessel — far more biological surface area per cubic foot than traditional filter brushes or mats. Backwashing takes minutes and removes collected waste without disturbing beneficial bacteria colonies. The preferred standard for dedicated koi ponds, heavily stocked ponds, and any installation where water clarity must be maintained under heavy bioload.
Sizing: PBF6000BL vs. PBF10000
PBF6000BL ($1,907): Ponds up to 6,000 gallons with light-to-moderate koi load, or ponds up to 3,000 gallons with heavy koi stocking. Includes blower for backwashing. PBF10000 ($2,249): Ponds up to 10,000 gallons with moderate load, or up to 5,000 gallons with heavy koi stocking. Both include blower, multi-port valve, and are designed for continuous operation.

EasyPro Pond Products FAQs
What is EasyPro and what makes them different from other pond brands?
EasyPro is an employee-owned pond products company with over 45 years of hands-on water garden installation experience. Unlike brands that design from specification documents, EasyPro's product innovations come directly from years of field installation — resulting in practical features like the Res-Cube pondless basin system (faster to install than traditional pondless vaults), patented Axiom skimmer design (works with external pumps), and the AquaFalls waterfall diffuser approach. EasyPro has introduced numerous industry-first products and continues to evolve its lineup based on installer and homeowner feedback. The employee-owned structure means every person in the company has a stake in producing quality products.
What is the difference between EasyPro Pro-Series and Eco-Series pond kits?
Pro-Series kits are EasyPro's premium matched system — built around EasyPro's own Axiom skimmer line and AquaFalls waterfall filters with filter brushes, sized specifically for each pond footprint. They are the contractor-preferred choice for water gardens and koi ponds where long-term performance and maximum biological filtration matter. Eco-Series kits offer larger pond footprints at a lower price point with different filter media configuration — better suited for decorative water gardens and applications where visual impact and footprint size are more important than maximum fish-carrying capacity. The primary Eco-Series kit PPD carries is the EPK1520 (15×20, ~3,000 gal, $2,363), which delivers excellent value for its size.
What is the EasyPro Just-A-Falls kit and how is it different from other pondless waterfall kits?
Just-A-Falls is EasyPro's pondless waterfall kit series — it creates a recirculating natural stream and waterfall without an open pond. The key differentiator is EasyPro's Res-Cube modular underground basin system, which replaces the traditional pondless vault and gravel approach. Res-Cubes are modular plastic modules that stack quickly and provide reservoir volume for the recirculating system — installation is significantly faster than filling a traditional vault with loose gravel. The Just-A-Falls kits come in four sizes: small (8-ft stream), medium (16-ft stream), large (18-ft stream), and extra-large (30-ft stream) — the JAF30W being one of the longest standard pondless kits available from any manufacturer.
When do I need a bead filter instead of EasyPro's AquaFalls biological filter?
The AquaFalls biological waterfall filter is the right choice for most water gardens and lightly-to-moderately stocked koi ponds — it provides good mechanical and biological filtration and creates your waterfall in one unit. A pressurized bead filter (PBF6000BL or PBF10000) becomes the right choice when you have a heavily stocked koi pond where the AquaFalls can't handle the bioload, when you want to run a koi pond without a traditional waterfall (bead filters connect inline without creating a visible falls), or when you need maximum mechanical and biological efficiency in the smallest footprint. Bead filtration is the professional standard for dedicated koi operations — backwashing takes minutes rather than the media-rinse maintenance of a gravity filter.
How do I choose between the EasyPro TH-Series waterfall pump and the EX3600 external pump?
The TH-Series (TH2700, TH3600, TH5100) are submersible waterfall pumps designed to sit inside the skimmer housing on an ecosystem pond and pump water up to a biological waterfall filter — the standard approach for Pro-Series and Eco-Series pond kits. The EX3600 is an external centrifugal pump that sits outside the water entirely and feeds an external filter (like a bead filter) rather than an internal waterfall. The EX3600 is specifically designed for koi pond setups where you want a skimmer-to-external-filter plumbing configuration — it runs cooler than submersibles, handles modest solids, and is easier to access for maintenance. If you're building a standard ecosystem pond with a waterfall, use the TH series. If you're building a koi pond with a bead filter, use the EX3600.
Are EasyPro pond kits good for DIY homeowners?
Yes — EasyPro kits are widely used by DIY homeowners because they bundle the core system components (skimmer, biofilter, pump, liner, underlayment) into a factory-matched system that removes sizing guesswork. Installation is well-documented with EasyPro's installation guides and support materials. The most important factor for a successful DIY build is excavation — getting the pond depth right (24–30 inches for fish ponds), setting the skimmer at the correct weir height, and ensuring the BioFalls filter is positioned above the waterfall edge. Call us at (765) 508-4352 before starting — 15 minutes of planning guidance upfront prevents the most common installation mistakes.
What routine maintenance should I expect with EasyPro skimmers and filters?
Routine maintenance for EasyPro systems is minimal but consistent. Empty the Axiom skimmer basket weekly (or every few days during fall leaf season). Rinse the AquaFalls mechanical filter pads when waterfall flow visibly decreases — typically monthly or as needed. Clean filter brushes gently to avoid disrupting beneficial bacteria colonies. For PBF bead filter owners, backwashing takes 5–10 minutes and is recommended when the pressure differential increases noticeably. Sentinel aeration systems are largely maintenance-free but should have diffuser membranes inspected and replaced annually. The most reliable indicator that maintenance is needed: reduced waterfall flow. Always check the skimmer basket first, then the filter media.
How does EasyPro's DuraLiner compare to other EPDM pond liners?
EasyPro DuraLiner is a 45-mil EPDM rubber pond liner — the industry-standard thickness for koi and water garden pond installations. 45-mil EPDM is fish-safe, UV-stable, and flexible enough to conform to irregular excavation shapes including shelves, curves, and varying depths. The DuraLiner is available in boxed precut sizes (10×10, 20×20) for convenience, and by the 10×100-foot roll for custom sizing. For the liner to work correctly, always use underlayment beneath it to protect against rocks and roots. When calculating liner size, add 2 feet of liner for every foot of maximum depth — a 10×10 pond at 2 feet deep needs a 14×14-foot minimum liner.
Is aeration necessary if I already have a waterfall and pump?
Waterfalls add oxygen through surface agitation, but dedicated aeration is still valuable — particularly during hot summer months when dissolved oxygen naturally drops, in deeper ponds where stratification creates low-oxygen zones, and in heavily stocked koi ponds where fish demand exceeds what waterfall circulation provides. The EasyPro CAS1 compact kit ($60) is a low-cost addition for small-to-medium ponds up to 1,000 gallons and produces a noticeable improvement in fish behavior and water clarity during summer heat. For larger ponds or ponds over 2,000 gallons, the Sentinel rocking piston aerator series is EasyPro's professional choice — designed for continuous outdoor operation in systems up to 2 acres.
How do I find the right EasyPro replacement parts for my existing equipment?
Start with the exact model number from your pump, skimmer, filter, or other EasyPro unit — usually printed on the label or in your installation manual. Common EasyPro replacement items include TH-Series pump impellers and seals, Axiom skimmer debris nets and filter pads, AquaFalls filter brushes and Matala media, Eco-Clear filter cartridges and O-rings, PBF bead filter media and blower components, and Sentinel aerator diffuser membranes. Many parts are model-specific — confirming your exact model before ordering ensures proper fit. Call us at (765) 508-4352 with your model number and we'll confirm the right replacement part and check availability before you place your order.
