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.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is included in the Aquascape 53034 11' x 16' Pond Kit?
The 53034 includes: Signature Series 2500 BioFalls® Filter with Rock Tray and BioBalls (limited lifetime warranty), Signature Series 1000 Pond Skimmer with faux rock lid (limited lifetime warranty), AquaSurge 2000-4000 pump (SKU 45009, 3,947 GPH max, 3-year warranty) with Smart Control Receiver, Complete LED Lighting Package — (2) 3-Watt LED Waterfall Lights, (1) 1-Watt LED Up Light, 60-Watt Transformer with Photocell, 3-Way Splitter, and 25' Extension Cable, Automatic Dosing System for Ponds with 32 fl. oz. water treatment, 15'×20' 45-mil fish-safe EPDM liner (20-year warranty), 300 sq. ft. geotextile underlayment, 2"×25' flexible PVC pipe, installation kit with silicone, foam sealant, PVC cement, and all fittings, and a Welcome Kit.
How does the AquaSurge 2000-4000 Pump benefit a medium-sized pond?
The AquaSurge 2000-4000 (SKU 45009) is an asynchronous, energy-efficient submersible pump with a maximum flow of 3,947 GPH. The "2,000-4,000" in the name describes the adjustable flow range — you set the exact flow rate you want. The asynchronous motor draws only 180–215W depending on your flow setting, compared to a traditional direct-drive pump that would draw a fixed ~300W+ at full speed. The included Smart Control Receiver connects to the Aquascape Smart Control App, letting you adjust flow, schedule on/off cycles, and set seasonal programs from your phone. Pump warranty is 3 years.
Is the filtration in the 53034 kit sufficient for Goldfish and Koi?
Yes. The Signature Series 2500 BioFalls® Filter is rated for ponds up to 2,500 gallons and handles flow rates up to 5,000 GPH — giving it significant headroom above the 1,200–1,500 gallon pond volume and 3,947 GPH pump this kit produces. It includes BioBalls biological filter media, a rock tray, filter mats, and media nets, maximizing surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization. Paired with the Signature Series 1000 Skimmer, which removes surface debris before it sinks and decays, the system maintains the high dissolved oxygen levels and low ammonia environment that koi and goldfish require. Both the BioFalls and the Skimmer carry limited lifetime warranties on their housings.
Can I control this Aquascape pond system using my smartphone?
Yes. The AquaSurge 2000-4000 pump includes a Smart Control Receiver. Download the Aquascape Smart Control App (iOS and Android) to adjust pump flow rate, set on/off schedules, and monitor operation remotely. The same app can control Aquascape Smart Control-compatible lights and other devices. An optional Universal Remote (SKU 45041) is available separately for wireless control without a smartphone.
How many gallons of water does an 11' x 16' pond hold?
At an average excavated depth of 2 feet with standard shelving, the 53034 kit supports approximately 1,200 to 1,500 gallons. This volume provides sufficient thermal mass to protect koi and goldfish through cold winters, while fitting comfortably in most suburban lots. The Signature Series 2500 BioFalls is rated for ponds up to 2,500 gallons, so the filtration system has meaningful capacity headroom for a well-stocked fish population.
What are the liner dimensions and what warranty does it carry?
The kit includes a 15'×20' 45-mil fish-safe EPDM LifeLine® liner — significantly larger than the 11'×16' pond footprint to allow for proper edge finishing, rock placement along the perimeter, and liner folding at corners without creating tension points. The liner is UV and ozone resistant, remains flexible in extreme cold, and carries a 20-year warranty. The 300 sq. ft. geotextile underlayment is also included to cushion the liner against rocks and roots.
