Description
The Atlantic Water Gardens PK262020 Large Pond Kit is a complete, factory-matched ecosystem system for a 16'×16' pond — approximately 2,900 gallons at 1.5' average depth. Every component is engineered and warranted by Atlantic Water Gardens: the TT6000 TidalWave pump (6,000 GPH) feeds through the PS7000 Skimmer to the BF2600 FilterFalls (26" spillway), with the AF1000 AutoFill maintaining water level automatically. LED lighting, FallsFoam, Triton check valve, and installation materials are all included.

Why the Atlantic PK262020?
- TT6000 at 6,000 GPH — matched to the 16'×16' pond volume. A 2,900-gallon pond requires at minimum one full volume turnover per hour for proper filtration and oxygenation. The TT6000 at 6,000 GPH provides 2× the minimum turnover rate, giving the BF2600 FilterFalls biological media adequate flow for processing fish waste while maintaining a strong waterfall display. Atlantic's asynchronous motor technology provides high flow at low wattage — 339 watts for 6,000 GPH is exceptional energy efficiency.
- BF2600 FilterFalls — 26" wide biological waterfall base. The BF2600 serves as both the biological filter and the waterfall basin simultaneously. Water pumped from the PS7000 skimmer enters the BF2600, passes through biological filter media (purchased separately), and spills over the 26" wide weir as the waterfall. The lifetime warranty on the enclosure means Atlantic stands behind this unit indefinitely — only the media inside will need periodic cleaning or replacement.
- PS7000 Skimmer — mechanical first-stage filtration. The PS7000 removes floating debris — leaves, pollen, surface algae — before it sinks and decomposes into muck at the pond floor. The skimmer houses the TT6000 pump, protecting it from large debris while drawing water from the surface and pushing it to the BF2600 FilterFalls. Lifetime warranty on the enclosure.
- AF1000 AutoFill — eliminates manual water level monitoring. Evaporation, especially in summer, can drop pond water levels quickly enough to run the pump dry. The AF1000 AutoFill connects to a garden hose and maintains the pond water level automatically, ensuring the pump never runs dry and the waterfall flow remains consistent. This is a standard inclusion in Atlantic's large pond kits.
- LED lighting — evening enjoyment built in. Two WWCS2 LED pond lights (12V, 2 watts each) are included with transformer and splitter. Positioned during rock installation before surface stones are set, these lights illuminate the pond and waterfall area after dark. A 2-watt LED per light provides clear illumination without the heat or UV risk of halogen alternatives.
- 20-year liner + lifetime filter warranty. The 45-mil EPDM liner is backed by a 20-year warranty. The BF2600 FilterFalls and PS7000 Skimmer enclosures carry lifetime warranties. Atlantic stands behind these components longer than any comparable kit in the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Atlantic PK262020 pond kit?
The PK262020 includes: TT6000 TidalWave Pump (6,000 GPH, 3-year warranty), BF2600 FilterFalls (26" spillway, lifetime enclosure warranty), PS7000 Skimmer (lifetime enclosure warranty), TR215CV Triton Check Valve, AF1000 AutoFill, (2) WWCS2 LED pond lights + WW30X4 transformer, 20'×20' 45-mil EPDM liner (20-year warranty), 20'×20' heavy-duty underlayment, 2"×25' flexible PVC tubing, (2) 12 oz. LF1100 FallsFoam, fittings, thread sealant, and PVC glue.
Not included: Filter media for the BF2600 FilterFalls (purchase separately), and stream liner if adding a waterfall run to the pond.
What size pond does the PK262020 create?
The PK262020 is sized to create a 16'×16' pond — approximately 2,900 gallons at 1.5' average depth. Excavating to a 2' average depth increases volume to approximately 3,900 gallons. The 20'×20' liner provides sufficient coverage for the 16'×16' pond basin with appropriate overlap on all sides for edge finishing. For koi ponds, we recommend excavating to at least 2–3' in the deepest zone for fish safety and thermal stability.
How efficient is the TT6000 pump?
The TT6000 TidalWave pump delivers 6,000 GPH using 339 watts — approximately 0.056 watts per GPH, which is among the most efficient performance ratios available for submersible pond pumps at this flow rate. Running 24/7, this equates to roughly $0.73–$1.00 per day at national average electricity rates ($0.13-0.15/kWh). For a 2,900-gallon pond, 6,000 GPH provides 2× hourly turnover — well above the minimum recommended once-per-hour for koi ponds.
Can this kit support koi fish?
Yes, with appropriate excavation and fish stocking density. The BF2600 FilterFalls combined with the PS7000 Skimmer creates a complete mechanical and biological filtration loop. For koi:
- Excavate to at least 2–3 feet in the deepest zone for temperature stability and predator refuge
- Start with 2–4 medium koi for a 16'×16' pond at standard depth
- Purchase and add filter media to the BF2600 before adding fish — the biological colony needs time to establish
- Consider a UV clarifier add-on for ponds with higher fish loads
Does the kit include filter media for the FilterFalls?
No — the BF2600 FilterFalls enclosure includes a media basket but no filter media. You will need to purchase filter pads, lava rock, bio-balls, or other biological media separately and add it to the BF2600 before operation. The media provides the surface area where beneficial bacteria colonize and process fish waste ammonia. Without media, the BF2600 functions only as a waterfall base, not as a biological filter. Call us to recommend compatible media: (765) 508-4352.
What does the AF1000 AutoFill do?
The AF1000 AutoFill connects to a standard garden hose at the pond's edge and automatically adds water when the pond level drops below a set point — compensating for evaporation and splash loss. This prevents the TT6000 pump from running dry (which can damage the motor), maintains consistent waterfall flow, and eliminates the need for manual water level monitoring during hot summer weeks when evaporation is highest.
Does the kit include stream liner?
No — the PK262020 liner covers the pond basin only. If you want to add a stream or waterfall run connecting to the pond, you will need to purchase stream liner separately. For medium and large pond kits like the PK262020, Atlantic recommends adding a 10'×15' boxed liner, 2"×25' tubing, and a 2" coupling to add a stream up to approximately 13 feet long. Call us to add stream materials to your order: (765) 508-4352.
