Why Every Pond System Needs Unions
Hard-plumbing your pond with permanent glue joints can turn a simple pump replacement into a major project. By installing a 1.25" Threaded Union, you create a modular system. If a pump fails or needs a seasonal cleaning, you simply unscrew the union by hand, lift the equipment out, and screw it back in when finished—saving hours of labor and the cost of replacement plumbing parts.
Pro Tip: Apply a small amount of silicone-based O-ring lubricant to the internal seal once a year to keep the union easy to unscrew and ensure a 100% drip-free connection.
