Know before you buy
The Canyon Matrix acts as a protective housing for your pond pump while serving as a reservoir to maximize water volume. It ensures your pump stays clear of debris while providing a steady supply of water for smaller waterfalls and streams.
The vault is designed to accommodate pumps with a maximum flow rate of 2,500 gallons per hour. Ensure your specific pump model fits within the vault's dimensions of 26.5"L x 16"W x 11.5"H.
The unit includes an integrated spinweld specifically designed for an autofill kit. This allows you to connect a water source directly to the vault, which automatically replenishes water lost to evaporation and significantly reduces your maintenance routine.
The vault features a 2-inch passthrough hole, which is designed to accommodate a 1.5-inch flex hose. This setup provides a secure, leak-resistant connection for your water feature's plumbing.
The Canyon Matrix is engineered in-house by Blue Thumb using high-quality, durable materials designed for long-term submersion. It is backed by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, reflecting the brand's confidence in its longevity.
