Aquascape Snorkel Vault Extension V2
AQ-51008
Snorkel Vault Extension V2 for Deeper Pondless Waterfall Basins
The Aquascape Snorkel Vault Extension V2 increases the depth of a Snorkel Vault installation in a pondless waterfall system, allowing the pump chamber to sit deeper in the basin for a greater water reserve above the pump. The extension connects between the base vault and the snorkel riser to add height to the pump access column without changing the basin footprint.
More Water Depth Above the Pump in the Same Basin Footprint
A deeper water column above the pump extends the time before the basin reaches minimum pump operating depth during hot weather evaporation or after a missed top-off. It also reduces the frequency of basin refills during peak summer evaporation in Canadian warm spells. The V2 design seals securely to both the base vault and the snorkel riser without requiring sealant.

How to Use
Install the extension between the base vault and the snorkel riser when the pondless waterfall basin is being built or retrofit into an existing installation by excavating to add depth. Connect using the sealed collar connection of the V2 design and confirm a watertight fit before backfilling. No sealant required. Inspect the connection points annually during spring startup to confirm integrity.
Ideal for pondless waterfall installations where greater pump chamber depth is needed to reduce refill frequency during hot Canadian summers or to accommodate a larger pump with higher minimum submersion requirements.
