The extension connects between the base vault and the snorkel riser to add height to the pump access column without changing the basin footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Water Depth Above the Pump in the Same Basin Footprint\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquascape Snorkel Vault pondless waterfall systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth extension for pump chamber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eV2 improved seal connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall 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.
