Know before you buy
This basket features a universal design intended for most upright fountain pumps. As long as your pump’s dimensions are smaller than the 9-inch diameter and 12-inch height of the cage, it should fit comfortably.
The basket is designed with a removable top, allowing you to easily lift the lid and access your pump for routine cleaning or maintenance without having to disassemble the entire enclosure.
No, the cage is constructed from heavy-duty stainless-steel mesh specifically chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion in aquatic environments, ensuring it remains sturdy over time.
The mesh design is engineered to allow ample water flow while effectively filtering out large debris. While it prevents clogs, you should still periodically clear any buildup from the exterior of the mesh to maintain optimal pump performance.
The basket includes a dedicated 1.5-inch opening for the power cord. This size is standard for most fountain pump cables, allowing the cord to pass through securely while keeping the cage sealed.
