Replacement Screen and Strainer Assembly
The Atlantic Water Gardens intake kit for the TidalWave3 TT1500 includes the replacement intake screen and strainer components that protect the pump's impeller from debris. Keeping the intake clean and undamaged is essential — a clogged or cracked intake screen is the leading cause of reduced flow and premature motor wear on submersible waterfall pumps.
Protect the Impeller from Debris
The TT1500 intake screen filters out leaves, gravel, and pond debris before they reach the impeller. Over one or two seasons, screens can crack from freeze-thaw cycling, warp from UV exposure, or become irremovably fouled with algae and mineral scale. This genuine replacement kit restores the factory intake geometry, ensuring the TT1500 draws water efficiently without starving the impeller.

How to Install

Ideal for maintaining the TT1500 across harsh Canadian winters and spring debris seasons.
