Why You Need a Functioning Overflow Elbow: In a balanced pond ecosystem, water levels fluctuate based on evaporation and rain. Without a functioning overflow system, a sudden heavy downpour can cause the pond to overflow. This not only washes away mulch and dirt into the pond but can also create an exit path for your fish. The Aquascape Overflow Elbow ensures that once the water reaches a specific height, it is redirected before it can cause damage.
Installation Tip: When replacing your overflow elbow, ensure the threads are clean. While the fitting is designed for a snug fit, using a small amount of silicone thread sealant can provide extra peace of mind against minor leaks at the bulkhead connection.
