Available Configurations
Without Chlorinator - Small Base (SKU: SMC90S): Complete system on a compact 16" x 22" base includes a GV75S pump and PCF90 cartridge filter with all plumbing including a water bypass line around the filter. Perfect for ponds requiring excellent mechanical filtration without chemical treatment. Ideal for koi ponds, water gardens, and decorative ponds where natural filtration is preferred.
With Chlorinator - Medium Base (SKU: SMC90M): Enhanced system on a larger 33" x 33" base includes a GV100 pump, PCF90 cartridge filter, and inline chlorinator. Fully plumbed with Schedule 80 fittings and pipe including a bypass around the filter and chlorinator. Best choice for ponds requiring both mechanical filtration and chemical sanitization, such as swim ponds, commercial water features, or ponds in high-debris environments.
How It Works
Water from your pond is drawn through the pump and pushed through the PCF90 cartridge filter, which captures debris and particulates down to a fine micron level. The filtered water then returns to your pond crystal clear. The included bypass line allows you to divert water around the filter during maintenance or to adjust flow rates. The chlorinator model adds an additional layer of water treatment for enhanced clarity and sanitation.
Why Choose Skid-Mounted Filtration?
Traditional pond filtration requires selecting individual components, custom plumbing, and extensive installation time. The EasyPro Skid Mount Cartridge System eliminates these challenges by providing a complete, pre-assembled solution. Simply position the skid, connect your pond plumbing to the inlet and outlet, plug in the power, and you're ready to go. This saves installation time, reduces potential errors, and ensures all components work together seamlessly.

- Commercial water features
- Estate and luxury residential ponds
- Professional pond installations
FAQ
Q: Which configuration should I choose?
A: Choose the Small Base without chlorinator (SMC90S) if you want natural filtration for koi ponds or water gardens. Choose the Medium Base with chlorinator (SMC90M) if you need chemical sanitization for swim ponds or high-debris environments.
Q: What size pond will this system filter?
A: The PCF90 cartridge filter is suitable for medium to large ponds. Exact capacity depends on fish load, debris levels, and desired water clarity. Contact us for specific sizing recommendations for your pond.
Q: Does this come fully assembled?
A: Yes! The system arrives pre-assembled and pre-plumbed on a skid base. You simply need to connect your pond plumbing to the inlet and outlet, and connect power to the pump.
Q: How often do I need to clean the cartridge filter?
A: Clean the cartridge when you notice reduced flow, typically every 2-4 weeks during the active season depending on debris load. Simply remove the cartridge and rinse with a garden hose.
Q: What is the bypass line for?
A: The bypass line allows you to divert water around the filter during maintenance or to adjust flow rates without shutting down the entire system.
Q: How does the chlorinator work?
A: The inline chlorinator (included with SMC90M model) slowly dissolves chlorine tablets as water passes through, providing continuous sanitization. Adjust the flow rate through the chlorinator to control chlorine levels.
Q: What are the base dimensions?
A: The Small Base (SMC90S) measures 16" x 22". The Medium Base with chlorinator (SMC90M) measures 33" x 33". Ensure you have adequate space for installation and maintenance access.
Q: Is this suitable for outdoor installation?
A: Yes, the system is designed for outdoor use with Schedule 80 UV-resistant plumbing. However, we recommend protecting the pump from freezing temperatures in winter climates.
Q: Can I use this for a koi pond?
A: Absolutely! The cartridge filter provides excellent mechanical filtration for koi ponds. For koi, we recommend the model without chlorinator (SMC90S) to avoid chemical exposure.
