Aquascape Wetland Filters are modular, professional-grade filtration systems designed to deliver exceptional biological and mechanical filtration for ponds and water features. Built around a series of integrated components, these systems slow water flow, capture solids, and maximize biological activity while remaining easy to service and expand.

Each component is engineered to work together seamlessly, allowing installers to customize filtration capacity, installation depth, and plumbing layout based on project requirements.

Wetland Filtration Components

See how this product fits into a wetland filtration system

  1. Snorkel Vault
    Provides a central access point for cleaning and maintaining the wetland filter
  2. Snorkel Vault Lid V2
    Protects the Snorkel Vault from debris entry and withstands foot traffic for safe use
  3. Centipede Module V2
    Distributes water evenly throughout the wetland filter bed for maximum contact with filter media
  4. AquaBlox Water Storage Modules
    Act as a settlement chamber allowing solids to drop out of suspension before water rises through filter media
  5. FilterBlox Module
    Uses internal biological filter tubes to maximize surface area and increase filtration capacity
  6. Centipede Module V2 End Cap
    Provides a convenient connection point for incoming plumbing

Snorkel® Vault and Lid V2 & End Cap for Centipede®

The Snorkel® Vault and Lid V2 serve as the central access point of the wetland filtration system, allowing quick inspection and efficient cleaning of the filter bed. A cleanout pump can be dropped directly into the vault for fast maintenance without disturbing surrounding gravel.

Constructed from heavy-duty rotationally molded material, the vault is built to withstand large-scale installations while remaining service-friendly. The reinforced body and enlarged opening provide ample space for pumps, hoses, and hands-on maintenance. A secure snap-fit lid protects the system from debris and foot traffic while staying visually discreet once buried.

  • Maintenance Access: Centralized access for fast inspection and cleanout.
  • System Integration: Designed to work with Centipede® Modules V2 and other wetland components.
  • Heavy-Duty Build: Rotationally molded for long-term durability.
  • Secure Lid: Snap-fit lid resists debris and surface loads.
  • Included End Cap: Comes with Centipede® Module End Cap V2 for flexible plumbing termination.

Centipede® Module V2

The Centipede® Module V2 forms the foundation of the wetland filter by evenly distributing incoming water across the entire filter bed. Its elongated open-channel design slows water velocity, allowing heavier solids to settle before reaching biological filtration media.

Built from rugged rotationally molded material, the module supports the weight of gravel, rock, and backfill while snapping together easily to create larger or more complex wetland layouts.

  • Even Distribution: Spreads water uniformly throughout the wetland filter.
  • Pre-Filtration: Slows flow to allow solids to settle out.
  • Structural Strength: Engineered to support heavy backfill and stone.
  • Modular Design: Multiple units connect in series for scalable systems.
  • Simple Connections: Links directly to Snorkel® Vaults, End Caps, or additional modules.

Dimensions: 33.5" L x 16" W x 9.5" H

Snorkel® Vault Extension V2

The Snorkel® Vault Extension V2 increases the depth of wetland filter installations while preserving easy surface access for maintenance. Extensions lock securely onto the Snorkel® Vault, making them ideal for deeper excavations or systems requiring additional gravel layers or stacked FilterBlox™ Modules.

  • Increased Depth: Raises the vault height for deeper installations.
  • Higher Capacity: Supports added gravel or stacked biological modules.
  • Secure Locking: Snaps firmly to the Snorkel® Vault.
  • Modular Expansion: Each extension adds 9.5" (24 cm) of depth.
  • Durable Construction: Built from rotationally molded material for long service life.

Snorkel® Vault Lid V2

This heavy-duty lid snaps securely into place and is designed to remain low-profile once installed. It blends easily into gravel or boulder finishes while protecting the vault from debris, impact, and foot traffic.

Centipede® Module End Cap V2

The Centipede® Module End Cap V2 provides a secure termination point for Centipede® Modules while offering flexible plumbing options. It supports both top-entry and side-entry plumbing layouts, with clearly marked drill points for precise hole saw installation.

The end cap snaps easily onto the module and pairs with Aquascape Rubber Bulkheads for clean, watertight plumbing connections.

  • Secure Termination: Finishes Centipede® Module runs cleanly.
  • Flexible Plumbing: Accepts top or side entry connections.
  • Quick Installation: Snaps securely into place.
  • Long-Term Durability: Rotationally molded for strength.
  • Clean Connections: Designed to work with rubber bulkheads.

PRO TIP

Design wetland filters with solids settlement in mind. Position Centipede® Modules upstream of biological media so heavier debris drops out early, keeping the rest of the system cleaner and extending maintenance intervals.
