How Does the UltraZap Inline Leaf Trap Work?

The UltraZap Inline Leaf Trap acts as a pre-filter for your pond pump.

As water is drawn from the pond towards the pump, it passes through the leaf trap's removable basket. The basket catches leaves and larger debris while allowing water to continue flowing through the system.

This helps prevent unwanted debris from reaching your pump and reduces the amount of solid waste entering your main filtration system.

The transparent lid allows you to monitor the collected debris, so you know when it's time for a quick clean.

Easy Cleaning and Maintenance

Keeping your leaf trap clean is simple:

1. Switch Off the Pump – Always turn off your pond pump before opening the leaf trap.

2. Release the Pressure – Make sure the system is no longer under pressure before removing the lid.

3. Remove the Lid – Carefully open the transparent lid to access the basket.

4. Empty the Basket – Remove any collected leaves, dirt and debris.

5. Rinse if Necessary – Use clean water to rinse the basket before replacing it.

6. Reassemble – Secure the lid properly and check that the seal is correctly positioned before restarting the pump.

Regular cleaning helps maintain good water flow and reduces the risk of blockages.

Ideal Applications

The UltraZap 50mm Inline Leaf Trap is suitable for:

• Garden Ponds – Helps capture fallen leaves and larger debris before they enter the pump.

• Koi and Fish Ponds – Provides additional protection for pond pumps and filtration equipment.

• Pond Sand Filters – Helps reduce the amount of larger debris reaching the sand filtration system.

• Water Features – Suitable for compatible recirculating water systems.

• Pond Pump Installations – Ideal for adding a removable pre-filter to compatible 50mm suction pipework.

Available Sizes

Make sure you select the correct connection size for your existing pond plumbing.

Good to Know

• Install the leaf trap between the pond and the pump, following the correct water flow direction.

• Ensure all pipe connections are properly sealed to prevent air entering the suction line.

• Check and empty the debris basket regularly, particularly during seasons when leaves and other debris collect in the pond.

• Always switch off the pump and release any system pressure before opening the lid.

• The leaf trap is designed to catch larger debris and does not replace your main pond filtration system.

Whether you're protecting a new pond pump or improving an existing filtration setup, the UltraZap 50mm Vacuum Pressure Inline Leaf Trap offers a simple and practical way to keep larger debris out of your equipment and make pond maintenance easier.
