Description
The EasyPro ES811FB Pro-Series 8' × 11' Small Pond Kit is a complete, pre-matched ecosystem pond system for a backyard water garden of roughly 1,000 gallons. Every component is selected and sized to work together: the energy-efficient EP2200 mag-drive pump drives the PSMFB Pro-Series Mini Skimmer and feeds the AS Small AquaFalls™ biological waterfall filter — all connected by 25 feet of 1½" flexible PVC. The 45-mil EPDM liner and underlayment, LED lighting kit, beneficial bacteria starter, and full installation kit are included. No spec matching, no guesswork, no missing pieces.
EasyPro's Pro-Series pond kits are manufactured in the USA and are used by professional pond installers and DIY homeowners nationwide. The mag-drive EP2200 is a quiet, low-maintenance pump with an epoxy-filled motor and a 3-year warranty — well matched to the low-head, continuous-duty demands of a 1,000-gallon pond. The AS Small AquaFalls is a buried, fully concealed upflow filter with an 18-inch waterfall opening and ample biological headroom at this pond size — wide enough for a natural-looking falls and engineered to disappear into your rock work.

EasyPro Pro-Series Small Pond Kit Lineup
Why the EasyPro ES811FB Pro-Series Kit?
- EP2200 mag-drive pump — quiet, efficient, low-maintenance. The epoxy-filled magnetic-drive motor has few moving parts, runs near-silently, and draws only 190 watts — meaningfully lower running cost than a comparable direct-drive pump. EasyPro reports over 98% of these pumps are still running after three years, and the kit's pump carries a 3-year warranty. At 2,200 GPH it provides healthy circulation and turnover for a 1,000-gallon pond at typical waterfall heights.
- AS Small AquaFalls — buried, concealed, 18" waterfall opening, room to spare. Rated for ponds up to 2,500 gallons, the AquaFalls runs with comfortable biological headroom on a 1,000-gallon pond. It's designed to be buried flush with ground level — the faux rock lip bolts directly to the tub, no foaming the lip required. Water flows upward through filter pads and mesh media bags in an upflow design that maximizes contact time, then cascades over the 18" opening as a natural-looking falls.
- PSMFB two-chamber mini skimmer with filter brushes. The removable center divider creates two chambers — one for mechanical filtration (brushes + debris net) and one for the pump. You can pull the pump for inspection without disturbing the brushes, and clean the brushes without moving the pump. The flange above the opening lets you stack rock above and beside the skimmer for completely natural concealment, while hiding the pump from view.
- Firestone-grade 45-mil EPDM liner — fish-safe, cold-weather rated. The 12'×15' liner provides generous overlap beyond the 8'×11' footprint for proper edging. At 45-mil thickness it stays flexible to −40°F and resists UV and ozone degradation. The fish-safe formulation contains no plasticizers harmful to koi or goldfish.
- LED2K lighting extends enjoyment into the evening. Three mini LED spotlights with a 45-watt transformer illuminate the waterfall and pond at night. Position the lights during the build, before rocks are set, for the best viewing angles.
- Beneficial bacteria starter included. A bacteria supplement seeds the AquaFalls media and establishes biological filtration from day one. Adding bacteria weekly after startup maintains the biological load as fish are introduced.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the EasyPro ES811FB kit?
The ES811FB includes: 12'×15' 45-mil EPDM liner, protective underlayment, PSMFB Pro-Series Mini Skimmer (6" weir, 3,000 GPH), AS Small AquaFalls™ biological waterfall filter (18" opening), EP2200 mag-drive pump (2,200 GPH, 3-year warranty), 1½"×25' flexible PVC pipe, check valve assembly and fittings, LED2K (3 mini LED lights + 45-watt transformer), beneficial bacteria starter, and an installation kit (PVC primer, glue, liner patch, silicone, black foam). Rocks, gravel, and aquatic plants are not included.
How many gallons does the 8'×11' pond hold?
Excavated to a standard depth of about 2 feet with typical shelving, the 8'×11' EasyPro pond holds roughly 1,000 gallons, which is the kit's rated capacity. That volume is large enough to support a stable, planted ecosystem with goldfish and a light-to-moderate koi load. For the best fish health — especially with koi — excavate at least one section to 2½–3 feet to improve thermal stability through seasonal temperature swings.
What are the EP2200 pump's specs and cord length?
The EP2200 mag-drive pump specifications: 2,200 GPH max flow, 190 watts, 2.05 amps, 115V, 20' maximum head, 1" threaded outlet, 26' power cord, and a 3-year limited warranty. It's an epoxy-filled magnetic-drive motor — quiet, oil-free, and energy-efficient for continuous duty. The pump requires a properly grounded, GFCI-protected outlet. If your skimmer sits more than 26 feet from your outlet, call us at (765) 508-4352 before your kit ships and we'll help you plan the right cord or outlet placement.
How does the AS AquaFalls filter work, and why is it buried?
The AS Small AquaFalls™ is an upflow biological waterfall filter: pond water enters through one of two 2" inlet bulkheads on the sides of the tub, flows upward through filter pads and mesh media bags (which trap suspended debris and host beneficial bacteria colonies), then cascades over the 18" faux rock lip and back into the pond as a waterfall.
The filter is designed to be buried flush with the ground, leaving only the faux rock lip and waterfall opening visible. The roto-molded sidewalls hold their shape under soil pressure, so the unit can be completely concealed with natural rock work — unlike above-ground filters that require extensive foam and stone camouflage.
Why does the PSMFB skimmer use filter brushes instead of a mat?
The PSMFB ships configured with filter brushes, which are highly effective for mechanical pre-filtration on a pond this size. Brushes trap leaves, grass clippings, and coarse debris while maintaining consistent flow to the pump — they don't compress or clog under debris load the way a single flat pad can. The two-chamber design keeps the brushes and debris net in the filtration chamber and the pump in a separate chamber, so you can service the brushes without disturbing the pump. The PSMFB can also be configured with a vertical filter mat if you prefer — EasyPro designed it for both media types.
Can this kit support koi as well as goldfish?
Yes. At ~1,000 gallons the ES811FB comfortably supports a planted water garden with goldfish and a light-to-moderate koi load — more fish headroom than the 6'×11' kit. Koi grow large and produce a heavy bioload, so keep stocking conservative: a good rule of thumb is no more than about 1 inch of mature fish per 10 gallons, and fewer for koi. For the healthiest results, excavate one zone to 2½–3 feet for thermal protection, add beneficial bacteria weekly to establish the biological cycle in the AquaFalls media, and avoid overstocking in the first season while the filter matures.
What are the electrical requirements for this kit?
The EP2200 pump runs on standard 115V household current through a GFCI-protected outlet, drawing about 2.05 amps (190 watts). The LED2K transformer is 45 watts at 115V — both run on the same circuit. Locate your GFCI outlet at least 6–10 feet from the pond edge per NEC guidelines for outdoor water features. If you're unsure about your circuit or outlet placement, call or text us before you build.
