Description
The Aquascape 53034 medium pond kit is a complete 11'×16' ecosystem pond kit — every component sized, spec'd, and matched at the factory so you don't have to. The AquaSurge 2000-4000 adjustable-flow pump, the Signature Series 2500 BioFalls® Filter with its 21.5-inch spillway, and the Signature Series 1000 Skimmer are the core of the system. Both the BioFalls and the Skimmer carry limited lifetime warranties on their housings.
Built to a maximum pond depth of 2 feet, the 11'×16' footprint holds approximately 1,200–1,500 gallons depending on excavation profile — enough thermal mass for koi and goldfish through Midwest winters, sized for standard suburban lots. The 15'×20' 45-mil fish-safe EPDM liner is larger than the pond footprint to allow proper edge overlap, rock placement, and liner folding at corners without tension points.
The AquaSurge 2000-4000 (SKU 45009) is Aquascape's mid-range asynchronous adjustable-flow pump. Maximum flow is 3,947 GPH. The asynchronous motor adjusts wattage (180–215W) with the flow setting, making it significantly more energy-efficient than a fixed-speed pump at full draw. The Smart Control Receiver is included with the pump — connect to the Aquascape Smart Control App on your phone to adjust flow, set daily or seasonal schedules, and control the included LED lighting from one place.
