This unit is built for straightforward, user-friendly installation, requiring no tools for the DIY builder. It features a patented 'spliner lock' system for secure liner attachment without the need for bolts or silicone, and an extended lip design to prevent leaks. It is suitable for ponds up to 3000 gallons.
