Waterfall Pump Intake Filter
The Atlantic Water Gardens A-315/A-32 replacement screen is the intake pre-filter for Atlantic waterfall and filter pumps using this screen dimension — providing the debris barrier that keeps fibrous material, leaves, and small gravel from entering the pump impeller. A clean, intact intake screen is essential for maintaining rated flow through any submersible pump, particularly in debris-heavy seasonal pond environments.
Prevent Debris from Reaching the Impeller
The A-315 and A-32 screen sizes cover a range of Atlantic pump models and accessories. The screen's fine mesh intercepts debris small enough to pass through basket-type pre-filters but large enough to jam a pump impeller or reduce flow by packing into the intake housing. In Canadian ponds during spring pollen season and autumn leaf fall, intake screens require weekly inspection to maintain full pump flow. Replace screens that are cracked, warped, or show irreversible fouling that cannot be removed by cleaning.

How to Replace
Remove the pump or accessory from service and disconnect power. Unclip the old screen from the housing. Clean the housing mounting surface and snap the new screen into place. Confirm all clips are fully engaged. Return to service and check flow at the next inspection to confirm normal performance. Keep one spare screen on hand for immediate replacement when fouling is discovered.
Ideal for maintaining A-315/A-32 series pump and filter accessories in Canadian pond installations.
